Default Insurance cutting medication

Finding it hard to get by every day with no help from doctors or insurcance and now this.
Yesterday I received a email from my insurance carrier.They wanted to notify me that come January 1 my medications and all opiates for that matter will be reduced to one 30 day supply per calendar year.

How do they think this is going to go , I know I am pretty bad , but I know there is plenty of people who are worse then me.

When you depend on medication just to get through the day and have it taken from you I can't imagine this will work.

I would love to know who thought this up.You are going to have patients who are on higher dosages then I am and then what , they are going to have to pretty much go cold turkey.

Amazing how healthcare works , enough ranting for now.

Mike
