“My Medicare heart medicine went up from $50.00
to $77.00 a month, January 1st because of obamacare.
I believe that is a 50% increase.
That is $25.00 less spent in the economy.
That is a new tax of $440,162,975.00 on the middle class.”
No one really wants to address the negative impact on our economy re what happened to you and millions of us.
Throw in higher premiums, higher deductibles and other out of pocket medical expenses. You end up with a lot of money not going into the overall economy.
A suggestion re your rx. Check with Costco and Walmart to see what their prices are. Often they are considerably cheaper.
Also do a Google check on your drug and your zip code for the prices of your drug. Often those Google searches will
include a free RX card and a special deal for your rx.
Our RX plan dropped coverage for Voltarin Gel, which I use on my post surgery foot. Instead of $50+ for this drug, I used one of the discount coupons from RX plans tha Google provided. I printed out several offers. The Walmart Pharmacist picked the best, and I only pay $15 per tube.
Take some time and find out which Pharmacy or RX plan gives you the best price for each drug. Our RX plan for my wife is the best for 3 name brand drugs, and she gets a better price for 2 drugs at Walmart. I now get two drugs at a better price at Walmart than with our plan, and as noted a good price on the Voltaren Gel with that card.
Thanks for the thoughts.I live a very small town; I use both Wally world
and Smiths( King Soopers) both have the lowest prices.
I have had 2 discount cards ,
The $50 one has been canceled by Dear Leader.What I have left is a discount card for $77.
Thanks again
