Employer Wellness Programs Are a Great Idea—Right?

4. Because I have a Group Medicare Supplement Plan

I'm disabled, retired and middle-aged - I get to go over my prescriptions with a pharmacist once a year whether I want to or not (I don't; it's a huge waste of time). The pharmacist didn't mention my insulin can cause hypokalemia (severe enough I have to take enormous horse pills to correct it); that my fibrate is linked to a serious increased risk for cancer; or that statin and fibrate use in someone that is both hypotensive and with CKD is at risk for rhabdomyelosis ... but did make sure to tell me the 400 IU of Vit E (recommended by my physician) has been linked to an increased risk of prostate cancers in some studies. I was born without a prostate because I'm a woman. Rhabdomyelosis, on the other hand, is really serious and the cancer risk from fibrates is not negligible.

I did get a prescription for enough needles that I don't have to use the same one for my Lantus and Humulin R injections, but still, hardly worth it.
