We got tamiflu when my daughter was exposed to the flu. It took a few days to get it, but we did. This was back in May.

Hype up the flu to make everyone freak out

Really unrelated to your point, but my take has been that the compliant media is always willing to hype Mexiflu at the beck and call of the DNC.....

Example, Pelosi's getting bitchslapped by the CIA dropped out of sight with another hysterical doom and gloom "alert".

Virtually no swine flu tests are ever done. It is a $400 test and serves no real purpose. If you have flu signs and symptoms it is considered swine flu because the seasonal flu has yet to emerge.

I couldn’t make heads or tails out of the Tamiflu issue.

Get some Star Anise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_anise it is the main ingredient in tamiflu and brew your own tea.

My daughter got the swine flu, the doctor recommended all of us get Tamaflu that were exposed. We all got it without any problems, though I think my doctor must’ve been slow in getting a memo. They said it was restricted to certain groups only, but I got it. I didn’t have any flu symptoms so I saved 6 of the 10 capsules out of the box just in case.

I know nothing about this sort of situation, but from reading stories on swine flu over the past few weeks, I do have the impression that “they” are recommending that Tamiflu only be used when a case becomes out of the ordinary in some way. Kind of decided there was a “save it for later” attitude since there is still a possibility swine flu could mutate and become more deadly, and the supply of Tamiflu is still limited in terms of the needs of a real pandemic of a deadly flu.

Also read one story where a young person was not given Tamiflu, then died and the parents were questioning that decision.

Tamiflu is being stockpiled, this started before H1N1 back when the avian flu was the major concern. This has made the medicine a little scarce in the pharmacies. It is still protected under patent law, I’m sure that the patent holders would be very interested anyone selling generic versions of their medicine.

As far as testing for H1N1, it is not a generally available lab test. In our state, only the state lab was doing the testing and they stopped when the flu was verified to be widespread.

I have just had the same experience. My son was given the prescription for tamiflu today from our doctor. When I went to the pharmacy to fill it I was told it was not covered under my insurance prescription plan. I asked the pharmacy for a reason and said that is all he knew. I have never been declined for any prescription in all the years I have had this plan.

A neighbor of mine who's son was diagnosied with the swine flu yesterday was given the same prescription and when she went to get it filled she was denied as well. We have 2 different insurance plans, but have had similar situations. I plan on calling my insurance company and getting a full explanation.

If the CDC and all the other government agencies do not want this to spread quicker then it is why are the insurance companies allowed to do this. There are alot of people who cannot afford the cost of the med’s and do not qualify for Medicaid. I do not agree at all with Obamas insurance bill it will make this problem much worse and not benefit anyone other then who are already receiving health care under the Medicaid program. This is a matter that needs to be looked into.
