In need of some prayers....
Hello everyone, 
I'm in need of some prayers please.
My husband has a terminal illness and because I'm making too much money (which really is just enough to survive) Medicare is making him pay $452 a month. If we don't pay that amount we have to pay for his meds out of our own pockets which run rigtht under $2000 a month. I don't understand this government! Why, when people need the government the most, do they give us the shaft? If he doesn't take his medications, he will die. This is so hard for me to handle especially since we have only been married for nine months.
Please pray that God has His hands all over this one. I know you all are mighty prayer warriors, I read a lot of your posts (even if I don't respond). God Bless you all!

Karen I know how you are feeling . My husband didnt have a terminal illness but was severly injured and got no help anywhere. I will pray that you get an intervention from God and that he also will give you peace of mind. Im sure others on here will be responding to you too. Keep your eyes toward heaven and your knees on the ground. We are here and hope to help you thur this time of worry and heartache. Love Jan
Oh dear Karen....I am so, so sorry that our wonderful government (NOT!!) is doing this to you and your husband!!
First, I will tell you that you and your husband are on the prayer list and it will be posted for all the prayer warriors to see!
Second, I wanted you to know that I totally understand! My husband, David works (making fair money) and I am disabled and they take part of my check too! My husband, David has a heart condition that causes him to need meds that cost almost $2000.00 a month to keep him alive! Thank God for my Lap Band Surgery!! I was on a lot of meds before surgery but with the way I'm having to eat now I got to give a lot of them up, saving us about $500.00 a month. David and I also went through the same thing with his Dad...he lived with us for the last 2 years of his life. He had meds costing out of pocket over $2000.00 a month. He had a retirement pension so they were taking some of his money as well!
I'm sorry that you and your husband have such devastating issues to deal with during a time that should be anything but this!! You guys should be enjoying your lives as newlyweds!
Is your husband at home or a hospital? If he is at home with you, you might find the information below, helpful!
With your husband being terminal, have you called Hospice? We had home health nurses that came in to help with Pop (my Father in Law) but when he took a turn for the worse, they suggested that we get Hospice in to help! I found out from Hospice that ALL meds. pertaining to what was causing Pop's illness were covered!!
I couldn't believe it! He had, had a heart attack, a stroke, was diabetic, had parkinson's and many other issues but everything but his prostate problem were covered.
If you have home health care, ask about hospice for your husband. They do a great job of taking care of your patient and you! Do you belong to a Church, have family or belong to an organization that can help you out at home? Cleaning, buying groceries, laundry? If not, I would like to suggest that you find someone to help you! Being a caregiver is a VERY hard job and if your husband is at home like my Father in Law was.....it can really bring you down fast!!
You have a lot on your plate so I won't burden you will a lot of stuff right now. Just know that you two are being raised up, spiritually to our Lord and Savior and we are asking for peace of mind, body and soul, for strength and courage to get through the days, weeks and months ahead...we believe in the miracles of healing and that your husband can be one of these miracles!
Keep the faith Karen! Talk to God, He listens! Believe in Him, trust Him, give ALL your issues to Him!! He is our Father and we are His children, He wants to take care of us!
Please keep in touch so that we can help you with advice, a shoulder to cry on and of course with prayers!!
With Loving concern and Prayers, Deb M
Thank you so much for all your prayers. My husband is in stable health concidering. His illness has not gone to hospice and we pray God intervines in this matter. Trust me when I say, you will be hearing from me when it comes to this point. God bless you all and continue praying, we haven't heard anything yet but Albert (my husband) has an appointment with his case worker on Friday.
God Bless,
Karen Scheuffele
Dearest Karen,
You and Albert will be in our thoughts and prayers and I am praying that the case worker has some kind of resolution that wont be so financially stressful for you right now, you have enough going on without worrying about the burdens of that kind of payment....but thats how our government seems to do people!!! If there is anything we can do for you here-let us know, PLEASE...I am not sure where you live, but if you are anywhere near Joplin, MO-I will be more than happy to help you with grocery shopping or errands-anything you need, you just ask-ok? May God be with you and Albert and give you peace of mind. Love, Janet
P.S. I used to call/fax info to different medication programs that would allocate a certain amount of money/grants etc to patients REGARDLESS of their income, some just got more than others....maybe you can ask the caseworker about that and if she cant help you there or doesnt know what your talking about, please contact me and I will get that info to you-ok?
