Notably absent from the list is any Pfizer drugs. Make of it what you will, but it smells of payback for throwing their weight behind Biden.

Ozempic?

Dan Bongino said last year, 1st— negotiations on price, 2nd —shortages of the drug grip the nation.

I'm on three of the ten listed drugs.

Earlier this year a pharmacy clerk processing my purchase looked up at me and said, "Don't you have insurance?" My co-pay for two of them was $996.

Seriously, the incredibly high prices of some medications should not be tolerated by a civilized country.

[Sooth2222]

The law sets the drug price ceiling at between 25% and 60% of its list price, with no price floor. Drug makers that don’t participate or reject the government’s price will incur a crippling daily excise tax that starts at 186% and eventually climbs to 1,900% of the drug’s daily revenues.

If they want the drugs to be unavailable at any price, this is an excellent way to do it! (1900% of $0 is $0.)

(I'm convinced that all those responsible for the design of the US health care system either took the short bus to school, or are working for the other side.)

I stopped taking several medications when I retired in January. Medicare is far more expensive than what I had when I was working. And I do have the supplemental insurance.

China/India is in control of our medication supply line folks

[Vaduz]

Most of the medications in the U.S. comes from China bet he’ll do something about that huh Moe.

I was told these drug thinners SHOULD be being offered in generic form by now, but that government actions have allowed them to keep the name-brand prices intact, even on generic forms.

I am also on Eliquis

[Sequoyah101]

The stupid bastards will probably negotiate the prices UP. Remember, they are from the gooberment, they are here to "help" you.

Sorry, my cynicism is borne of experience.

[Persevero]

Approximately how much is prescription coverage from Medicare? A family member is considering getting it.

When you have prescription coverage does it pay in full for all prescriptions or?

Thanks in advance all

My husband is an American Indian, so any drugs ordered by the doctor at the Indian clinic are free. He also has private doctors. Just yesterday, the Indian doctor informed him that any native American on Medicare part D can get their meds not supplied by their local clinic thru the Chickasaw Nation pharmacy here in Oklahoma. (He also has private doctors, and the Indians don’t pay for the scripts they prescribe). The really neat part, though, is that the non-native spouses of Indian patients who are on Medicare part D can ALSO get their meds free from the chickasaw nation. I don’t know if it applies to out of state people, but I don’t see that requirement listed. Here’s the website:

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.
