Okay we're nearly at the deadline of no insurance (end of this month is his lay-off date)

the kids can get state assistance if neccessary (no currently known medical issues with any of them so far thank god! )

I can do without (for the last 2 years having insurance didn't make any difference anyways, even in delievery of my last baby! )

but dh has been a type 1 diabetic since age 6 and is on an insulin pump. this is his only health issue and it's well maintained.

We can't find a single carrier to cover him individually for anything even remotely near affordable. Don't even suggest Cobra, that's not a reasonable option at all.

Ideally we'd like full insurance coverage for him, but if we could only get a decent RX plan for him, that would be a great relief.

Can anyone offer suggestions for affording this? Sources to try?

Martha,

The drug companies offer some options for those without insurance. If you go on the website of a drug company you can find out what they offer. I had a family member who did this and it worked out really well. I can't remember the details but they were very generous. Hope this helps!

God Bless,
Barb

Have you checked into any of the Christian insurance programs such as Medi-share

A few couples from our parish are using this and other similar plans and have had good experiences so far.
