.... A few years ago my doc prescribed one of those stop smoking meds, the insurance would not pay for it and at the time I couldnt afford the script. ....

You don't need drugs to quit smoking. Just look at your ashtray: that's what smokers lungs look like. Then quit. Why should an insurer pay for drugs that you don't need?

For that matter why should they pay for anything that is routine? Its like paying General Motors a monthly stipend to get your oil changed.
