Agreed. My prescription that I need would cost $250 every time I needed to refill which would be impossible for me to cover as a full time college student. Luckily I’m still able to use my parent’s insurance so I get my prescription at no cost but many aren’t as lucky.

I’m glad you are able to benefit from the ACA which provided the ability to be on your parent’s insurance until the age of 26. Without ACA you would have had to get your own insurance at 18. Please be sure to vote blue.

My heart goes out to you and them!!!

Never forget my first visit to a pharmacy in America. They rang up $273 for a tube of ointment. It’s $10 in the UK, same brand and everything.

I just paid $85 for eyedrops for post eye surgery. I have Medicare and a Humana supplemental prescription policy. This is a ludicrous situation. How many seniors go without their prescriptions because they just can't afford them? We need healthcare reform from top to bottom.

Republicans say we can’t afford to help Americans who need medical care, yet somehow we can afford tax cuts for the mega-wealthy 1% and corporations, including health insurance giants.

Time to ban lobbyists, can i get an amen?

AMEN

TRUE STORY: My 9yr old was diagnosed with severe ADHD. After a year I finally have a med consult. That was tonight. He was so excited to try a med. Strattera is what the doc prescribed. I was told, “unless you want to pay $900, your insurance doesn’t cover it” I’m so upset

Use Adderall. It’s cheaper. Or Vyvanse. I think that’s ~$260/month, was developed specifically for children, and is time-released.
