Let’s target gasoline.
Basic Medicare, part A, doesn’t cover prescriptions, nor does Part B unless given in a hospital stay.
Some insurances that you buy, Part C or Part D, as ‘supplemental’ do to various extents. Some with co-pays, some none.
You will have to shop around for you best ‘fit’.
The annual Medicare booklet they send out has all the plans available in your area/zipcode, in chart form, with a list of what they offer and cost..................
You should post that on FR in General Chat!

In regards to Eliquis, he’s taking credit for something that already was going to happen.
It was supposed to have a huge price drop this past January. Humana already had me set up to get it at the new, MUCH cheaper, price.
Then, a few days before the date, Pfizer withdrew it and moved the date to 2026.
Pfizer, along with all the others are full of ex-government execs they hired. They most likely got wind of the policy, or even formed it themselves!!....................
