A couple years ago doc put us on Crestor for cholesterol...the prescription price via insurance was $30 for a month's supply.

Just got my first refill for the new year. $180. Thanks, Obamugabe.

[SoFloFreeper]

Lower prices my ass. I never believed it anyway.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He meant it was going to be cheaper for Eric Holder's people.

Evidently you are not one of Eric Holder's people.

Everyone should call their Congressman and Senators and give them your thoughts on this Holocaust. You can call the DC switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for the Elitist of your choice. Keep their lines busy through November and offer to send them packing boxes.

Not trying to let Obama off the hook, but do you have a deductible on your insurance? You usually pay full price until it’s covered.

[Jim from C-Town]

Did y6ou get a new type of policy. Did you go to an HSA account.

Just wondering. When we went to an HSA we went from a co-payment to paying full price the insurance would pay through the HSA until we reached our deductible then everything was 100% covered.

If you have private insurance you can get crestor at the discount price of $18 per month.

Went to get my Simvastatin refilled yesterday. $2 ent to $40. Can’t wait to refill my Benicar.

[clintonh8r]

That’s what I take. I pay about $8 for a month’s supply, but I haven’t bought any yet this year.

[RonInNaples]

Wonderful, I use it also. Something to look forward to. Picked up my first refill of anything for the new year yesterday. Last month it was $1.52, this month it was $24.28. Live on a fixed income so it may be a choice between food and medicine for me pretty soon.

If you like your cheap prescriptions you can keep your cheap prescriptions.

My Crestor went from $30 to $180.

Luckily, it's affordable.

“Not trying to let Obama off the hook, but do you have a deductible on your insurance? You usually pay full price until it’s covered.”

There did not used to be a deductible for medications — maybe there is one now.

The real question is, why would you take a statin in the first place? It's horrible for you, and cholesterol and heart disease have nothing to do with each other.

[shankbear]

Screw Crestor and all statins. The body needs cholesterol for hormone production. Just walk briskly 30 minutes a day. Doctors and Big Pharma sell crap. So does Obama.

[arthurus]

Omega 3 and Niacin are a hell of a lot cheaper than that.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would never touch the stuff!

[chicagolady]

Red yeast rice is my choice.

[GeronL]

The price of Crestor went up? or is it just inflated by Obamacare so they can subsidize others?

[P-Marlowe]

Just take two asprin.
