Well, I finally got to pay $665 for a month's supply of a drug.

41. When I was in Dallas last month

My GP gave me a prescription for some medication or other, and said I could pick it up at the CVS on Preston Road. I went there, gave them my name, and was told the little bottle of pills would cost $1050. I said WTF????? You gotta be kidding! I said, sorry, there was no way I was paying that. The pharmacy then said, well, hold on, maybe we have a coupon. "A coupon??" What in the world was that supposed to mean? I never was told what "a coupon" means in pharmaceutical terms, but in monetary terms, it means the price of the pills went from $1050 down to $20.47 (or however many cents it was).

Whatever is going on with the cost of health care in the States, it's beyond weird, and I am betting it is fatal to more than a few random patients from whom no "coupons" can be found.
