My mom has been suffering from afib since 2010. Both are on a lot of medication and require frequent doctor visits.

This healthcare debacle is affecting me indirectly, but it still gets me angry. Any time some worthless human being starts saying "free", I literally kill them in my head over and over. It's a damn shame that socialism is slowly taking over without a single shot being fired.
If your mom has Medicare only then yea, prescriptions can be a problem. Need supplemental insurance for that or a Medicare advantage plan. Basically Medicare sends your monthly premium to the insurance company and they pay the bills, nothing gets billed to Medicare. It will cost more, how much depends on the plan.
