Prescription Drugs are Robbery !

So I didn't have that good of a doctors appointment this week. But I was pleased to get something for my terrible migraines and pain. I had tried over the counter meds and nothing seems to really even make a dent in pain.

However I was extremely shocked when I went to fill my perscraiption. My co-pay was 48.00 for 9 pills of imitrex with a retail value of 235.99. Can you believe that ?????
235.99 for 9 pills. There is seriously something wrong with this world that a pill cost that much. That means these pills cost 26.11 each. With some of my other perscriptions I also had to fill and including my discount my bills was 100.00. The drug companys are really taking us to the bank and we let them. No other country in the world pays the drug cost that Americans do. It really makes me mad and it is very frustrating. I would easier take the 200.00 a month and spend it on something else. That's all for tonight...

I had to share my madness with you all.

Our wonderful system of healthcare, and we actually have health coverage. So sad that drug companies are allowed to do this... I do hope that you are feeling better soon. {{HUGS}} ¥
