Price Of Essential Pharmaceutical Drug Increases 5,500 Percent Overnight

#16

Quote:This, pretty much, although I will throw this out there: my wife is on a medication that, on paper, costs our insurance $9,900 per month. We pay $42 for a one-month supply. Those basic, uninsured cash rates are often imaginary numbers that the manufacturer will never see, and are there only to drive the price of what insurance actually pays them for the drug up.
 

Right, the issue comes to people that don't have insurance.  I have a medicine that I pay $75 a month for, but its about 1500/month without.  Retail locations like Walgreens aren't going to give the uninsured discounts on that.
