Medicare stopped....argh

Hello All,
how are you? sorry i haven't been posting much here....i've mostly been on facebook.

well, i just got a letter from medicare saying they are stopping my medicare. just because they want to. i should've had another 5 years of medicare assistance. i just got my remicade last friday, and now i don't know how i'm going to pay for it. that's at least $10,000! i get double dose, so its more than the norm. i am in total shock. how can they do this? i need this stuff! i'm looking into appealing it...and also looking into patient assistance programs. just had my infusion...and i don't need to start flaring because of the stress of this. they have just perfect timing don't they. just as i get back on my feet...and thinking...i'm ok....i'll be fine. they hit you with a ton of bricks.

has anyone had this happen to them? if so, what did you do? any advice would be great!!!!

you all take care!
much mahalo
