By Sharon Hendrix Verified, Ray Walker, Sharon lives| DC Journal@ I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the mid-1990s — a condition that affects my brain, spinal cord and optic nerves to the point where I struggle with walking and using my arms. Nearly 1 million Americans are affected by MS, and it’s more common in women than men. Soon after my diagnosis, I had to stop working and lost complete access to my health insurance.
By Sharon Hendrix Verified, Kansas City| Kansas City Star Verified Sharon Hendrix of Overland Park has to skip filling prescriptions for her MS because of the cost. It doesn’t have to be this way. On a fixed budget, it’s impossible for me to pay the $3,000 monthly out-of-pocket cost for my multiple sclerosis medicine. Some months, I’m lucky enough to have financial assistance from health care nonprofits. But when I don’t, I’m forced to go without it. It’s a choice that almost cost me my eyesight — and it’s a choice I shouldn’t have to make.
