My last two years of college on my parents' insurance, it all went to crap and we basically paid all the cost of medications. (Fortunately for me, that was the majority of my CF needs.) Ended up like $50k out of pocket for my parents JUST for medicine...and I was only on enzymes, albuterol, and TOBI at the time. Now that I'm grown up and have a job with insurance and a nice little $50 copay for medication, it is like being in heaven... Knowing what it's like to have to pay for ALL of your medication costs makes me resent people who complain about how high their copays are. I'm so glad I live somewhere with an extremely low cost of living, so my paycheck goes along way and I'm not spread too thin.
