Did everyone forget Trump was lowering drug costs?
Nope. Insulin pricing reform had lowered patient costs and was repealed almost immediately by Brandon. Oddly enough, up until this Januarys report, branded drug costs actually decreased over the last few years. Because there has been no PBM and middleman reforms, that savings is not passed on to the consumer. There are multitudes of copay assistance programs available but the PBMs who manage employer drug plans are now encouraging them to put in place copay accumulator and maximizer programs which prevent the help a patient gets from counting toward their out of pocket spend. I encourage anyone who is interested to look at Adam Fein and his Drug Channels site.

Apparently.
The thing is, most people have insurance covering their prescriptions.
If they don’t, most States will help with the cost. Even the Drug Companies the s selves offer programs for fixed incomes.
Some people won’t be happy until it’s all free……..even so-called conservatives.
