When you call or go to SSA they do not know anything other than what it says on the screen unless you get an older worker and thats tough. I think this situation of health care will be getting worse before it gets better and that will be awhile. I havent had private pay health insurance for 3 months and have to pay for rx out of pocket at about $450 with a rx card otherwise its well over $1600 for 2 pills.
