Reply to comment by TyeDyeAmish in What is the healthcare system like here for those with Medicaid ? And how are mental health services? by Riverrun221
Haha exactly. Thank you so much. Your comment really was the most important out of all 84 comments because I know wherever I am , if there is a Walmart nearby I will be able to have my medication. That is huge

Aww you’re so welcome. There are other types of meds on that list as well. Weis (local grocery chain) also does something like Walmarts program. I can’t remember their prices though. Also coming from CA to PA, medical marijuana cards are easy to get lol

Those kinda programs are great options!! And look for the Pa medical marijuana page. Great discussion area for medicine in PA.

If you're low income, disabled, veteran, or a senior you can get discounts to get your card and to get medicine from some dispensaries. So make sure to ask.

my boyfriend is from Newark, and so we are just making the move together, his best friend lives in Allentown in a nice condo and has a large cozy room for us for very cheap. More opportunities out there for what he does. He wants to be home and I’ve never experienced the east coast really. So I’m doin it and I’m very excited. I’ve listened to the song Allentown by Billy Joel a bunch of times and have been researching nonstop . I’ve had a bad year and this is gonna be good for me .

My “brother” lived up in Allentown so I’ve been there a bunch. I live in Lancaster now. Home of the Amish. Allentown has some cool stuff. Look up White Castle. It’s delicious! That sounds cool though, you’ll defintely experience the east coast out here. Sorry you’ve had a rough year. Me too. Hope it starts getting better :)

I think it will be cool when I see Amish people! And I want to go to the farmers markets. Hope next year is better for you as well!

Unfortunately yes. Not all Amish are great. Most are though!
