I won't have insurance until it does
Isn't it retroactive? Or is it about not spending up front?
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sorry, need to vent for a bit. Today can just suck it. It started off well enough, but I got my neck/upper back out of whack either while sleeping or *ahem* morning amusements. Now I can't really turn my head well. I stopped at the drug store to get drugs and a stick on heating thingy, and then spent 10 panicked minutes searching the car for my wallet, which I finally found.
You know? One of those days. And I can't afford to go home, so I'm working as carefully as I can.
Oh, and just found out that a friend of mine and Nora's has cancer. So FUCK CANCER.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It IS retroactive, and we are sending in the form today, but my insurance is terminated for about 10 days until our COBRA election forms go through. I know medical care is retroactive under our plan, but I'm not sure about Rx.

Scrappy, even without insurance, if you're willing to have the generic of ambien, it shouldn't cost much--maybe $30:

Hooray for morning amusements, at least?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Less than $10 at the CostCo pharmacy.

Excellent news. Thanks, hivemind. {runs off to call Dr. for refill}

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Costco's pharmacy seems to kick everyone else's asses when it comes to prices.
(Relatedly, my aunt forwarded me an e-mail about the markup on drug prices, and how some drugs are "marked up" more than 3,000% [not a typo] from the cost of manufacturing the active ingredient. And I chose not to reply that I am stunned by her willful ignorance of other costs such as: inactive ingredients, pill bottles, labels on the bottles, ink to print the labels on the bottles, people who pack the bottles in boxes, cost of boxes, people who drive the truck to get the boxes to the pharmacies, gas and insurance for those trucks, cost of those trucks, people who work in the pharmacy and stock the shelves and dispense the prescriptions accurately so YOU DON'T DIE, cost of the physical pharmacy building, cost to keep the lights and heat on in the pharmacy, etc., etc., etc.
But no, drug companies are the devil because they don't charge 1 cent a pill for Lipitor.)
(I should note that I think some drugs are overpriced, but it's just plain ignorant to pretend that Pfizer should be charging the customer literally ONLY what the cost of the active drug ingredient is.)

Compassionately intolerant
I don't know if it applies to Ambien, but Target is really touting their $4 generic prices.
