Start contacting your US Senators and Rep. Also add Reps. Buyers and McKeon to your contacting list. I had to sic Sen Bob Corker on TFL to get my Synthroid covered. Side effects from the generic are horrible. But name brand works, and works better than generic. Endocrinologist WON’T prescribe generic for hypo-throidism, because it is hit and miss in effectiveness. Thyroid controls a lot of your endoctrine system.

My wife and daughter are both on Synthroid and have the same problem. The generic dosages aren't consistent and the endocrinologist won't let them take it. My daughter had thyroid cancer and her thyroid was removed, so it's really important for her to have consistent dosages.
