You are so right. GoodRx analysis of cash prices for asthma inhalers shows that prices have climbed about 35% since 2013, from an average price of around $280 in 2013 to more than $380 today.

The average cash price for one inhaler of Advair, a leading medication for asthma, increased from $316 in 2013 to $496 in 2018 – a 56% increase. The average cash price for Flovent, another widely prescribed brand, increased 41% between 2013 and 2018, from $207 to $292.

And those are prices from 2018.

Even worse, look at what has happened to the price of insulin

Insulin used to be very affordable

Now it is “ value priced” in market place, which is a polite term for “how much are you willing to pay to stay alive”
