Petruccelli says: Be sure you are well supplied with any prescription drugs
that you or your family take on a
regular basis. This can be a daunting task as some
insurers will not honor refills until the last refill is nearly used up or has
run out. If necessary, drugs must be purchased without insurance; weeks may go
by without the ability to get refills, putting your health (or even your life)
at risk.
