MESSAGE FROM MEMBERS OF CHARIOTS:
This reunion show serves as a benefit for our friend, Lucas. Instead of going into detail in our own words, we will let you hear(read) it from him:
“Both my kidneys shut down, I need a transplant. When I get the transplant I’m automatically enrolled in Medicare. But there’s a 20% copay on a $250,000 procedure that I have to pay on my own. The cost of anti-rejection meds post-transplant could set me back a couple grand a month, and I’ve already wracked up a $4,000 bill for testing thus far.
I’m having the procedure done at the U of M Fairview medical center. There’s no transplant date as of yet, I need people that don’t mind giving me one of their kidneys to step up for testing. If no one matches, I get put on a national donor list. The average wait for that is 3 to 6 years…in which case, they’d put me on dialysis, and there’s a co-pay on that as well.
After being put on medicare, they drop me after 3 years, and I have to go through an independent insurance company to get covered for meds, which can run me around 350-1000 depending on my condition. Depending on what meds I’m taking and if my body doesn’t reject my kidney.”
If any of you are in town and can make it to this show, we all thank you greatly. We want to make this a fun event all while putting in our own efforts to help out a friend.
