I'm on The Villages Health Plan (Medicare Advantage plan run by United Healthcare). I also take Eliquis and my quarterly co-pay is $125. I agree that Medicare should be authorized to negotiate drug prices- the USA is the only advanced country where the government is not authorized to negotiate prices. This occurred because of the 2004 plan for senior drug coverage under Medicare
