Just got my monthly prescriptions refilled, 97 bucks more than last month, 200 bucks more than last December, same stuff, same amounts.

I'm helping someone get their sex change operation, thanks, OBAMACARE!

Quit complaining, it is all part of the plan. Next is a tax on oxygen.

Apparently, healthcare isn’t free after all.

I can’t even get my asthma meds anymore. The copays are $150 a month and I can’t afford that. Hoping for the best; barring that, fixing to lay down and die.

I recall my prescription increased by 50% as soon as the Bush Prescription Drug legislation was signed.

At the time, that was out-of-pocket, because I did not have insurance.

Get a free prescription discount card and save up to 75%. No charge, HIPPA compliant, no sharing of information, no annoying requirements to go mail order.

Yeah, but you are saving us from the Ozone hole. No push back from big pharma because suddenly everything is patentable again. So what if the efficacy dropped.

I will give you some insight into drug prices before and after 1/1/2013. Before Jan 1, a 500 count bottle of Watson Doxycycline 100mg capsules was approx. $45.00; after Jan 1 it costs approx. $1600.00.

I've got insurance, they just keep decreasing the amount they will cover while the premium stays the same.

I used to order from Canada but US Customs frowns on it. If they decide to confiscate your stuff you are out of luck.

We have a situation where American consumers finance pharmacuetical R&D for the whole world. Everyone else gets their meds at cost plus reasonable markup while American consumers finance all the research expenses.

Have you checked Walmart to see if they carry your RX? They fill them for $4.00 or 3 months for $10.00. They may have a generic that would work for you, too.

I use a generic now. The original cost me $76 per month... I am very satisfied with the results.

Walmart costs are the same for what I need and the pharmacy I use delivers free. It's just a matter of the insurance company having to take action to stay in business and cover all the crap the liberals demand.

Sex change operations and stuff like that SHOULD NOT be covered and subsidized by people with valid medical conditions, but this is what is happening.

We shouldn't be subsidizing medical expenses for illegal immigrants, but it is going to happen more and more, and your costs will go up.

Eventually the system will overload and break completely and Barack Obama will have exactly what he wants.

I know, I should be happy to watch my quality of life go down, Angel Adams wants to make another democrat rugrat!

I was finishing another of many 70 hour weeks when I ended up in the ICU and had to retire, I'm just wondering why the Hell I bothered when I could have been sitting on my ass all those years.
