I've been listening over the years about how high med prices are, but it really didn't hit home until this morning. I had to pick up2 scripts. I knew I had a $0 deductible, but was floored when there was no cost. At all. These same meds usually cost me about $30 each, which I really didn't mind and really didn't even stop to think about.
I asked what the meds would cost if I had no plan. One was $80, the other...... $500. Five.Hundred.dollars. for 90 days. And this was a GENERIC, not even name brand. How in the hell does anyone without insurance deal with the cost?
I feel fortunate that I have a plan which covers well, and I pay very little, comparatively, to others. I suspect this will all change for the worse when I hit 65 and have to use Medicare plus a supplemental.
