No Coverage for Symbicort

My Medicare Advantage health insurance plan is being discontinued. I have been shopping for a new one on Medicare.gov. None of the plans available in my area will cover Symbicort or any of its generic substitutes. I am so upset that I feel like crying. Budesonide/Formoterol is the first treatment that really worked for me. I can't go back to how I was before, and it is going to cost me thousands of dollars next year. That will hurt, but at least I can manage it. I am truly sorry for those who can't. Health insurance is a necessary evil in the U.S. but make no mistake - they are evil.
