Medicare &Part D plans---massive chaos

O.K. for today I need to get a little off track with my thoughts and vent, rant, whatever comes to mind about the anger I feel toward our government and how they run Medicare and Part D.
If you are an organ recipient you've felt some of my frustrations. My frustrations have been a monkey on my back for 29 years!
I've regularly sent so many letters to Congressmen, Senators, Governors and Presidents I know for a FACT they see my return address, grimace and recycle the letter unopened.
I had to wait the 6 months to receive Social Security Disability-twice-, waited the 2 years to get Medicare only to find out Medicare would not pay for my first double -lung transplant! Because it had to be performed simultaneously with open heart surgery. Medicare's loophole was the 2 surgeries had to be done separately. Gee my heart goes to our wonderful government politician who orchestrated that piece of legislation.
Now I'm falling into the issue (yet again) of prescription denials. Medicare Part B already covers a portion of Prograf and Cellcept-thankfully. If not, the cost alone would throw me into that BLACK HOLE of a coverage gap. Been there, done that, still trying to claw my way out financially from last year. (another thing to rant about). Now, however I'm having issues with Insulin. Yes insulin. This is my 3rd prescription denial in 2 weeks. I hope someone up there finally gets a clue that the "norm" does not apply to the chronically ill.
As many know long term use of Prednisone as well as Prograf can have the side effect of Diabetes. And after 18 years I feel I need something other than diet and exercise, control freak that I am when it comes to my health. My wonderful Endocrinologist has tried a few new products, and after much talking convinced me that the Pen was better for my use than the original vial and syringes. Me being the person I am , detest the thought of another syringe in my skin. After long term use of Procrit and giving the injections myself, feeling the burn and praying heavily for my kidney transplant, I count to 10 and then some trying to get up the nerve to give myself insulin.

Here's the clincher..... My Part D Provider approved the purchase of the pen needles. I had a few pen samples from my Dr., but they have DENIED the pen. So I'm now out the $30 I spent for the pen needles and constantly fighting the provider for the pen. My argument is:
They are both on the same tier, making them cost the same-so what's the big deal?
According to them you MUST give your self 3+ injections daily.. Yeah right, here comes the loophole. It's a long-acting 24 hour insulin. Who would be crazy enough to give themself more than one shot daily????? Yeah I use fast acting in between, are they going to deny this too?
I've asked these same questions in an appeal and to date have heard NOTHING.

I told family and friends years ago that Medicare and Social Security and NOT something you can depend on. Now you know too.

Time to write another letter to my Congressman announcing a new low for the disabled.
I think I'll fax this one instead..
