My sister in law, Lynn is 52, has advanced systemic Lupus (SEL), rheumatoid and osteo- arthritis and works as a receptionist for a condominium resort in St. Augustine, Fla. She never graduated from high school or got a GED...so she makes $11.00 an hour...36 hours in the summer and 30 hours in the winter.

She is on Medicaid...and sees a Dr. regularly. She is not disabled. She contacted 3 or 4 pharmaceutical companies directly..[however I do not know which ones]..and gets all her medicines free except pain medication.
