I went to pick up a prescription last week - the co-pay was 222.00 dollars!

I thought there was a mistake. I had the pharmacy clerk check the insurance info, and she showed me what the insurance covered & the cost of the medication.

Medication:

487

Co Pay

222

I told her that was rape, and had her take it off my bill. Fortunately, this was a new med that wasn't absolutely mandatory for me to take, so I had the 'luxury' of refusing to pay for it. It was, however, the best recommended drug for my treatment.

Comprehensive health care reform NOW. I haven't heard much about the pharmeceutical companies profiteering, in the public discussion, thus far. Health care is breaking the economy. Every 30 seconds an American goes bankrupt from the cost of health care.

SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE NOW & Criminal Prosecution for Pharm Price Gouging. NO MORE CORPORATE PROFITEERING OFF OUR LIVES!
