This topic is inspired today by 'interesting timing'.  While I was out thanking the neighbor who shoveled my snow and going on to shovel some other snow for the area people, I explained how it is I'm able to be doing things that I wasn't in the past.  And I included the facts as to what my yearly expenses were in those days for my health care, as in a year I probably had over 20 medications/prescriptions going on most months.  I returned to working and had a message from someone who was asking about Lumigrate being able to assist people with their medication expenses, which a  read more »
