RE: [IP] FDA may let patients buy drugs without prescriptions
I could not get to this article, However I am wary of allowing prescription
drugs being changed to over the counter status as most insurance companies
use this as an excuse to stop paying for it. I have found that usually the
price doesn't fall that much, however now I need to pay the full amount but
rather than my co-pay. Also note that when you get a prescription and it
says your co-pay is $20 list is $345 that list is bogus. I have 1 drug I
take that it shows my copay as $20 for a 1 month supply and a savings of
$297, however when I purchases it as cash without my insurance I paid
$19.50.
