Very wise advice--"we all need to be alerting our representatives and senators, because it is NOT reducing the cost of care,"
Voters elect the same old officials who do nothing to help us with health care expenses.

I got quite an surprise for this new year, a prescription that was $12 in 2024, is now $120! "Placed in a higher tier" says my insurance! I have not had time to call dr. about switching scripts yet, but you bet your bippy I will. Also will call political rep about this sleazy move that moved this drug to a higher tier to earn more profits legally after bragging about lowering the price of drugs.

Will that $120 drug come down in price once you satisfy your deductible?

I find it helpful to download the prescription drug Formulary for my insurance plan each year. It is usually a searchable form in either Word or PDF format. Then, when I get a surprise like that, I look up its generic form and ask the doctor to prescribe it. For example, a Symbicort inhaler would cost me $125/month; the generic, budosenide/formoterol, form is $10.
