I'm in my 30s and have been taking thyroid medication for years for hypothyroidism. While my medication is not on the immediate list of "uninsured," as time goes on, it might. Or there might be shortages of it.

I'm 50 and take levothyroxin for my thyroids. The funny thing is, I pay about $3.85 for it without insurance whereas if I try to pay for it with my insurance, I have a $15 copay for a $3.85 medication.

I frankly don't care if my insurance stops paying for a medication that I can pay less for out of pocket!

The point for me isn’t the money, it’s the availability. There have been talks of shortages for crucial medications in the past. Just no telling if T4-specific hormone medications will fall into that category under Obamacare.
