Not on Medicare yet.
Something needs to be done about pricing. Doctor presribed two heart medcines to me one of which is Eliquis(can not miss their TV adds) and three months supply was $1300. Could buy it through Canada at 1/3 the cost, but had to be ordered. Shopped around and all regular US pharmacies were very close in price. Was told by my insuror that I had to pay full price since I did not match my deductible
Another drug was $1800 for 3 months. Canadian price is 1/3 of that cost. Pharmacist at Publix gave me information on coupons and saved at least 50%. Now some of us(under 65) need to clip coupons to get reasonalbe priced prescriptions.
Have always said insurance is good until you become sick.
