My wife and I have Medicare. Each of us has a different prescription drug plan (Part D). For the 2 Shingrix shots (for shingles), my plan covered about 50% of the cost. My wife's plan covered hardly any of it. She saved a few dollars by using GoodRX instead of her part D plan.
My take -- when it comes to healthcare, it's a jungle out there!

As far as "a jungle" goes......the problem is that the US is the only major country that does not have a Single Payer system AKA National Health Care. Nixon tried to give the US a National Health Care system, but could NOT convince Congress. So now the bottom line is such that, we are stuck with this INSURANCE JUNGLE.
