Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well.
I just need to vent a little anger right now. It's been just over ten years living with an ostomy. I really can't complain about it, it's saved my life and I am alive because of it.
I have always been with insurance, really really great insurance for a long time. I didn't have a co-pay for ever. Then my job got outscourced, insurance started to suck a bit. Now I had a 100 buck co-pay for 3 months worth of supplies. Now, my job got outscourced again a few months ago and no insurance. This isn't my bitch of poor me part of my anger.
I went to find out how much a month supply was going to run me. I literally shit my bag when I heard it. I was talking to an owner of a medical supply store. He said ostomy bags are extrememly over priced by the manifactures because they can, you need them so they stick it to you. Lovely isn't it?
I mean really, it's a thicker ziplock bag with duct tape and some plastic.
If I had the money I would make and sell bags for 1/4 the cost and would probably still by robbing patients blind.... thanks for reading.
