This is one area that needs more regulation!! There should be a cap on markup. I know I have great insurance my copay for my injections is 35.00 (they dont make generic) They always list the cost which is right at 3600. of course the insurance company is then billed for the difference of my copay and cost. And we wonder why our insurance rates keep going up !!!

Dont even get me started on the Medicare prescription plan - I qualify for it but choose to buy my own insurance. How do they expect anyone to afford drugs they desperately need. All I can say is the legislatures probably have not run into this or have a family member with a chronic illness. Of course their insurance is the best to be had and at the cheapest rate!!! Thanks Hiliary :lol:

I find, that If I HAVE to take a drug for months or permanently that if I contact the drug company patient assistance program (they ALL have one) and just ask them to cover my copay they will. You ask. you get (MOST of the time)

I'm a Kaiser Permanente patient. It's the greatest plan in the world IMHO. I pay $20 copay for office visits, $50 for ER visits, $250 for hospital stays, and $20 for generic 3 month prescriptions. I can get some of the generics at WalMart for $10 for a 3 month supply, but it would be a hassle to go out of KP with written prescriptions.

My thing is that Obama's insurance bill should have been approached on fixing the insurance companies. They are what is wrong with the whole helath care problem, but I do not want nation health insurance I just want regulations put on insurance companies and medical manufactureres of meds and other health care products.

My dad has cancer. His Dr gave him a prescription. He took it to the pharmacy and was told it would be $10,000! The last offer they (Mom and Dad) got was $2,000, but that's still way too much. Dad says 'forget it, I'm 82 and lived a good life'.

Sounds like a scam to me. I would call customer service at that company and at your insurance company. These companies bid to get the contracts and know how much they will need.

My HMO is constantly trying to get me to do the mail order thing and I won't because of this very situation! I get one med through mail order and that's it. I would have said "only if YOU are willing to pay for it"! My answer would have been the saem as yours.
