Been down with hip replacement surgery...two back-to-back prescriptions cost $600 each for 56 pills. After my insurance kicked in my total cost out-of-pocket was around $800 out of the $1200 total of the two scrips.

I probably could have gotten them overseas in Lower Slobovia for 200 bucks...you get my drift.

Could you check your math?

I read the above as "$600 each for 56 pills". That is $3,360. Then you say the total was $1200.

Did you mean $600 per each of two prescriptions? I am pretty sure that is what you meant.

My dad (Medicare/Medicaid) was prescribed antibiotics. 2 of them, combined in one pill with some pepto bismol (”Pylera”), they slapped a patent on that and wanted to charge $1000!!! We had to call the Dr. and have them prescribe them separately (covered and free).
