Re: Anyone else feels guilty about their med expense?

I feel grateful, not guilty. Grateful to be able to afford insurance to pay these exorbitant costs. Who should feel guilty are the institutions and drug companies that inflate costs and charge several dollars for a simple aspirin for instance If anything, you should feel angry that these expenses are having this effect on you Just remember that they are out of your control and you are doing nothing wrong by incurring them
Keep the faith
