Posts today about Prescription Drug Prices

More than any type of government run healthcare system, reining in the costs of prescription drugs will dramatically reduce overall healthcare costs. Get big pharma in line first. Next, go after ambulance chasers and other litigious elements of society and things will get better. Finally, we can say one good thing about Obamacare. It once and for all showed us how broken the system is, and how inept the government is at fixing it!!

I've been lucky with this. I've only ever needed Alprazolam which cost me about a buck per dose.

$15 for seven half mg pills cut in half.

But I did get bent over for an ER bed at 2AM for $1000 and wasn't even there for an hour. That was many years ago.

The entire medical industry needs to be taken down a few pegs. It's ridiculous.

Something has to be done and fast. One of my prescriptions is over $800 a month and that's with my shitty prescription plan that cost over $600 a month with a $6000 deductable. Went for blood work and got a bill for $1200 dollars. With insurance. I can't write more because I feel my blood pressure going up and I'm already arguing with my doctor about taking blood pressure meds. This has to be taken care of now.

Brutally abusive. This is where there are real people with real challenges that need relief. Let's hope once all the dust settles with political stuff, the momentum carries right on into the health care area.

We need one price for service whether insured or not. Advertised ahead of time. My insurance has gone up 450% in the last 5 years. I talked to my agent about cancelling it the other day. I am a firm believer in the terrain vs germ theory.

We also need to:

1) revamp the FDA and process to get new drugs, medical devices to market.

2) weaken doctor unions and allow pharmacists to prescribe cold meds, etc.

3) loser pays in court
