something I am grateful for today

johncomicI work at a place that offers a decent drug plan as one of our benefits. I noticed recently that the labels on my prescriptions indicate [in tiny print] the actual cost of the medication, as well as what I in fact pay for it [usually nothing at all].
Just for one example: I have these little minty wafers which I take when I get a migraine. Without the drug plan coverage, each wafer would cost me over ten bux. I'm not saying that it ain't worth ten bux to shake a migraine, it's more like I get migraines so often that eventually I'd have to give up buying those wafers and go without, I couldn't afford them as often as I need them.
I have friends and relatives who have trouble buying their meds, sometimes going without, so I realize that I am very lucky.
