   1. Thanks for reaching out James. There are a number of different programs available for Novolog. Some are for co-pay assistance, while others provide the medication at no cost. We recommend reaching out to each of them to see what assistance they may be able to provide you.

2. I have COPD. My inhalers cost me 47.00$ each while I need 2. And that’s my co-pay.! Every month..
   I have United Healthcare AARP which I am Disabled. Does this discount medical card help with this?
   We did have MORX which you know was discontinued.!!!! I am also on Oxygen.
