In Texas, no insurance, three months supply left of Eliquis.
Hello everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place for this advice but I thought I'd give it a shot. My partner is currently struggling with a brain blood clot with small chance of surgery, which initially formed several years ago. They received care, regular check ups, and support for those years. Now that they turned 26 and have been off their parents insurance since, time is running out to be able to afford their medication (Eliquis).
Obviously Texas doesn't have expanded Medicaid. Their job doesn't provide them with insurance, and isn't giving them hours because of their disability affecting their work out put. Nowhere else is hiring right now because of the economy... Also, can't leave the state due to family supporting them financially. My partner literally cannot afford to eat, and scrapes by paying for their apartment. They cannot afford a monthly $500 bottle of eliquis, let alone a years worth. Or multiple years worth.
Anyone have a similar experience? If so, any advice on how to receive help without leaving the state? It feels like it's becoming dire at the moment.
Thank you.
