it's ran by the US government and has nothing to do with the jackass other than he made them name it after him.
I'll be using it if the prescriptions are actually cheaper. Besides whoever follows him into office will rename it and fix it.

7. Actually no.

I am currently checking on all this stuff though. You probably already know the deal, It's a PITA because I have to submit the stuff to them and then run it through as a test-run with the insurance company to see what my actual cost is at the end, so I'm procrastinating at this moment. But I certainly will check that one as well when I get up the motivation to go through this stuff.
I appreciate the reminder, I had forgotten about that option.

11. At Cost Plus you put in ins info & they tell you instantly if they accept it.

I was looking for 1 drug that costs nearly $500/mo everywhere.

$44 at Cost Plus! And that was for 2 month supply!

It's worth a look imo.

One thing to be aware of: they only offer generics.

Happy hunting!

Personally, I'd rather go without meds before buying them from the orange menace

9. no one has "renamed and fixed " medicare advantage or the aca.

they have renamed the aca but their idea of "fix" is like a minor remodeling of the east wing.

12. It wouldn't be surprising if there's a kickback buried in there somewhere

Whenever there’s money to be made…

This seems like it would be an enormous conflict of interest.

8. So far it is a third rate copy of GoodRx.

Almost no medications. Of the dozen or so medications we use - only one is listed. It is cheaper than GoodRx. I'll have to check my insurance to see if it is also cheaper than insurance.

10. How about we pitch Trump Universal Healthcare?

He might like that because he is completely vain and when he is gone (free at last!) we can call it American Universal Healthcare.
