Things you need to know about the Affordable Care Act and prescription drugs — but probably don’t
Washington Post ^ | 12/09/13 | Ariana Eunjung Cha

All of them should. In the past, some individual policies offered drug coverage as an option for an additional cost, but that will change on Jan. 1. Prescription drug coverage is one of the 10 essential benefits under the Affordable Care Act, and all health insurance plans will be required to cover at least one drug in every category and class in the U.S. Pharmacopeia, the official list of approved medicines.

The Obamacare medical centipede disaster drops another shoe. You may have to pay $30 or $1000 depending on THEIR plan for the same drug......or out of pocket if you prefer....(wee, it's free)

According to the letter we received a few weeks ago, under the ACA “quantity limits” can be placed on my daughters asthma preventer. Don’t worry though, she can still get “free” birth control and Plan B. Did I mention that she’s two?

The cost for non formulary drugs does don’t count towards your deductible or out of pockets medical expenses.

This means R&D which was done in US because of masked prices through insurance coverage will die off.

So summing up: Lose, Lose, Lose.

Come on, I'm sure you are relieved that grandmotherhood is being staved off for a few more years, thanks to Obamacare.

Starting in Jan, my mother will have to pay $95 for 30 days of a drug that was costing $10 for 30 days up to this point.

She has two medications like this. We get it stuck up our hoo ha for $200 extra a month, now!!

Web site flop, "keep it" lies, astronomical premiums/deductibles, I-PAB healthcare rationing, the Medicaid time bomb........etc etc etc.

Now Obamacare gives us birth control coverage for two-year olds.

(GAG) The ghosts of Planned Parenthood and condom queen, Sandra Fluke, lurk everywhere.

PASS THE WORD AMERICA: In Obamacare, every "compassionate Democrat" joined together to give America a "Progressive Police State" fully sheathed and outfitted like pimps and prostitutes.

====================================================

IMHO, Republicans bring Democrats to their knees w/ just one line: Obamacare is the only socially transformational legislation in modern American history to be enacted on a straight party-line vote.

Obamacre is an unmitigated disaster wholly owned by Democrats.

she’s lucky she gets any coverage at all
under Obama healthcare “bioethics” advisor Ezekiel Emmanuel’s “Complete Lives System” the death (and healthcare) of an adolescent is far more meaningful to society than the deaths of the very young and the old, who come last in priority for scarce resources

Well, the Democrats aren’t killing enough people with abortion. Building concentration camps and gassing us might get them shot. So.....how do they kill more people? Hmmmmmm. Take over healthcare and screw it up! There’s the answer! That will help Mother Earth!

“You should request a copy of the plan’s drug formulary, or preferred-drug list, which tells you what’s covered. On the federal exchange, you may be able to find this when you click on the “details” button for a specific plan.”

“should”...”may be able to”.....?!?!?!

This listing of the plan’s drug formulary IS SUBJECT TO WHIM AND CHANGE!!!
This will be the next “cost control” from the DEATH PANELS.

There is a daily stream of complaints and lamentations, from talk show hosts and even some in the msm, yet NO ONE is doing anything to halt it. What will it take to stop the wheels on the bus?

The official narrative is that the Republicans are responsible for the ACA failure because they “sabotaged” it.

Doesn’t this represent a death panel-level decision already?

If some have to pay for their drugs at full cost (which could run in the thousands for a single dose), they may be forced to choose between eating, paying the gas bill, and getting their life saving prescription.

Welcome to Obama’s America.

Our dilema is figuring out how many people belong in jail over this and other Constitutional violations.

Wonderful! Birth control, just what everyone over 50 needs. Now pediatric infants can get bc coverage.

Obamacare, “It’s a Wonderful Lie!”

” Don’t worry though, she can still get “free” birth control and Plan B. Did I mention that she’s two?”

I was outside breaking ice in our fountains and cattle water troughs used for planting vegies, and my wife watched what she called a screaming match on Fox re the upcoming increases in Rx prices for patients.

My wife said the Gay liberal on the panel was trying to down play this latest untold Obamacare disaster. He said twice that people would get free birth control.

Amazingly, he was all for a free $20 or less month for BC and had no problem with people getting massive increases for needed and in some cases life saving rx medicine. He even defended the concept that these increases in Rx costs would not be part of our newly increase deductibles.
