I had prescription drug insurance through November 29th. I sent in a refill for a 3 month supply of a med I MUST take. It's expensive and even with insurance, my co-pay is $135. The drug has NEVER shown up. And this is something I would never lie about. I just get this response from Medco.

Three problems here. I have to refill in 3 months in order to get my "credit" for medication that never arrived and right now, in order to get the drug, I have to pay the co-pay twice. I'm no longer employed by this company so there will be NO REFILL in three months. Third, this drug is one that their system requires to be a mail-order script after they've filled it ONE TIME at a local pharmacy.
Damn. I've got about 4 days left and these idiots don't send out $400 drugs with any sort of tracking and I'm screwed.
