DRUG PRICES ARE HIGH ACROSS THE BOARD
Izzy it's terrible out there, either be fortunate and have a prescription plan from work, or go closer to bankruptcy each month.
I don't have Hiv but I am permanently disabled from an auto accident.
One chronic pain medication I use is a patch changed every three days.
so one month is 10 patches my pharmacy's retail price is $356.00
5 other medications I take retail well in excess of $150 monthly and that is not all I have to take about ten different medications and the retail value is about $1500/month. Thank God I have a prescription
plan to rely on which lowers the cost to about $300/month. The medical
ethicasts should have a field day on this but unless you have HIV,
people like myself have little visibility when they talk money.
