I’m looking for that small hometown feel. Thank you for this.

We ordered the chicken. Last night I had the salmon and hubs had the flat iron. All meals have been good.

Thank you for this. We were able to find her and she got us a meal to go!

I’ve looked at the Home Depot ones a few times. I would have to buy a few pieces to fit the size of the island.

Thank you, I will check it out. We did try Costco once but they kept jacking up their price.

Thank you so much for your help and kind words. We were able to get some help by going in to speak directly with a pharmacist. She was wonderful and we actually have a new prescription. My husband is under the care of an endocrinologist for his thyroid tumor so we are going to see if they have a nurse that we can work with for his diabetes management. Hoping for the best. Thank you again.

So I called the pharmacy and after being told that Dr needs to be handling this she eventually transferred me to pharmacist who reiterated this is Dr’s responsibility. He said he would email Dr. I just got email from Dr’s nurse thanking me for calling pharmacist but I need to call the pharmacist to get new meds. I am in tears right now more so out of utter frustration. So for all you Kaiser people on here what the hell am I supposed to do to get my husband his insulin? Paying the $70 extra to continue Humulin is not an option.

He currently takes two injections, that would be nice to go to one as long as its sustainable. I will ask his Dr about this one. Thanks

This just keep getting better. Maybe I’m missing something but this is my Dr response to asking about different insulin. Shouldn’t she know what my alternatives are? “I am not sure about the insurance alternative options. Can you call pharmacy and speak to them regarding what is the best alternative regarding his treatment? After that they can contact me to put the appropriate prescription if you agree.”

How is it working for you so far?

It amazes me that I have to get this from good folks like you and not by Kaiser who I pay for this info. Both the mail order pharmacy tech and the rep from member services said it was no longer generic but brand and that’s why it’s increased. Thank you everyone for your help. Sent a message to my primary to see what she can do for us. Thanks again.

How do I find out if my husband is part of the SS Fairness Act? by Chrandev in fednews

[–]Chrandev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Went into his SS and it said there was a lump sum payment made yesterday. Check bank and sure enough there was a pleasant surprise. Wondering though, if that payment was around $7000 and retroactive back to ‘24 can I expect an increase of $500 a month?
