re lower co-pays for certain drugs, Neugut said, but they don't cover aromatase inhibitors, the focus of the new study. Such drugs, including AstraZeneca's Arimidex, significantly lower the risk of death in breast cancer survivors who've gone through menopause. While Arimidex can now be bought as a generic drug for only less than a dollar per pill, the drug cost more than $2,000 a year when the study was done. Neugut and his colleagues used claims data from MedCo Health Solutions to find out what role patient co-pay might play in whether or not they took their drugs for the recommended five years. Of more than 8,000 women aged 50 to 65, 20 percent stopped the medication early if their co-pay was less than $30. By contrast, if the co-pay was $90 or more, 23 percent dropped the drugs ahead of time. For older women, the gap was five nearly percent, which Neugut chalks up to less disposable income. There were similar differences in the number of women who skipped at least 20 percent of days, and the gap remained even after the researchers considered possible explanations such as income and other factors. "If the co-pay gets too high, it is going to stop people from taking a drug they really need," said Neugut, adding that earlier research has noted the same effect for prescriptions as a whole. With the healthcare reform, more people aill live in FEMA trailers nearly six years after Hurricane Katrina. Another FEMA spokesman, Bob Josephson, said the agency will consider bringing trailers to Joplin if enough existing housing isn't available. He said every effort will be made to find existing rental units closest to Joplin and that many residents may simply choose to find their own housing options. People who lived in the 8,000 structures smashed in the storm have scattered to the homes of friends and relatives or camped out in emergency shelters in the city. Some may leave town — New Orleans lost nearly one-third of its population after Katrina. Penny Musgraves is happy — and almost surprised — to be alive. But for Musgraves, whose low-income townhouse was ripped away above her head as she protected her cowering 6-year-old daughter, the joy of surviving is beginning to give way to confusion and anxiety about the future. "I'm kind of scared," said the 45-year-old mother, who is unemployed and currently living with her daughter at the Red Cross shelter set up at Missouri Southern State University. "There isn't much low-income housing. I can't rent a place. I don't know what I'm going to do." While many of the survivors had insurance, it could be months, if not years, before they can rebuild. Removing the millions of tons of debris and remaking the city's destroyed infrastructure will likely take well into the summer if not longer. Rebuilding homes can't start until that work is finished. For low-income residents, the Housing Authority of Joplin provides some housing. But it was not known how many, if any, of the homeless it can accommodate. Recent history suggests many people won't be able to wait for the answers to emerge or for the rebuilding to be completed. The current population could drop substantially. New Orleans lost 29 percent of its population after Hurricane Katrina as residents left and settled elsewhere. Greensburg, Kan., which was leveled by a tornado in 2007, lost about half its population even though the town was rebuilt. It dropped from 1,574 before the tornado to 777 in 2010. At the Red Cross shelter, 150 people seemed grateful for the cot, warm food and donations of clothing. Many were trying to figure out where to go next. Ask 64-year-old William Whittenback where
