No kidding

We are getting buggered in the bum over this

I bought a newfangled calcium channel blocker last month called Renexa

1200 bucks for one month

My insurance paid half...which means all premium holders did

It’s ridiculous

I’d be interested in the dose and number needed for a months supply - here in Switzerland we have a similar problem, with similar causes (think Roche, Norvartis).

It might be cheaper for you on a yearly basis to fly to Europe once a year to get your prescription filled and pay out of pocket.

In Germany: Renexa 500mg tablet, 100 tablets: E127.94 ($158.70).

Americans refuse to accept it, but we are simply being robbed blind.

[generally]

My theory is that the drug companies have a deal with the insurance companies and if the cost is 1200, then they sell it to the insurance company for 600. Therefore you pay 100% and your “insurance” pays ZERO.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but I’ll bet I’m right or close to right.

And I’ll bet that 0vomitcare and its cheerleaders are in on the spoils of this deal.
