When staying alive is ridiculously expensive

How chronic health conditions (can be) exorbitant, factors one may not consider, and how (early) knowledge of one's health may equal a stabilized condition and financial prescience.

To note: If you can prove hardship¹ or get a letter of medical necessity,² some insurance companies will cover (some) supplements and non-covered medications prescribed by a doctor or specialist.

My first two letters got rejected with non-specifics as to why. But I’ve emailed my specialists for new letters.
