Now Here's something to Think About...

[ScreamingMeemie]

I just got my prescriptions filled (grateful for insurance)...With our copays, 60 pills of Tambocor=$30 copay 30 pills of DiovanHct=$30 copay, 30 pills of Toprol=$30 copay 30 pills of antivert=$30 copay, a month course of prednisone=$30 copay, 5 day course of Zithro=$30 copay..., 30 pills of Flexeril=$30 copay

Here's the Kicker...

ready????


....90 pills of Vicodin=$8.49

Crazy. The only pill that would be "worth something" to anybody is also the cheapest. Any wonder why people get easily hooked on their painkillers. :hi:

1. Share the wealth!

I got $8.49.

2. Wow! that's a serious 'Script order!

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Annoying as heck. We're getting "copayed" to death.

:hi:

4. Send some my way!

:hi: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Hi will! How are you today?

I still can't get over that the only drug that people would clamor for is the cheapest. :hug: :loveya: How are things going?

[bigwillq]

6. I am well!

Got woken up by the furniture people this morning but that's ok. I needed to start my day anyway!


Back to the drug situation-----
People love bargains! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. True!

I started the day out today pretty proactive. Got an oil change and was out of the dealership by 8:30 AM...went to the grocery store...now I'm hanging out wasting time.

[bigwillq]

8. You're a waste!

:P


Good for you. It's nice when you can get a lot of things done early. What else is on tap for you today?

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I've really got to get my reports from last year filed away in a banker's

box. I starte every year out great with filing...and then, around April I stop filing and have reports piled up everywhere. We're thinking about marketing the house and right now the basement office is horrendous looking. I drive MrG nuts.

How about you? :hi:

[bigwillq]

10. I have work later

but it shouldn't be too bad. I just need to make some phone calls and send out some e-mails. I probably won't go into the office until 5 p.m. or so. Just to check in.
I can do a lot of the stuff from home.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I like working at home, but I sometimes have difficulty "applying" myself

to the tasks at hand. ;) :hug:

[bigwillq]

14. Yeah, sometimes that happens to me.

But you have much more distractions. Kids, hubby. etc.....

[no name no slogan]

11. That's just insane

your scrip list reads a lot like mine-- five ones each month for just me, and copays out the wazoo.

Thankfully I'm going off one of them. I started cutting back the Ambien a few days ago and it's going alright. I'd rather not be addicted to a drug that makes you "sleep-eat" or "sleep-drive" :scared:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Isn't it though? He wanted to put me on Crestor last week and I said,

"Hell no" Another copay? I think not. My cholesterol was at 204 and I think I can manage to bring it down myself.

15. Does your insurance have an annual max for copays?

Some do this - once you have paid a certain amount in copays in one year, any additional prescriptions have no copays.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. No. I wish. We have BC/BS PPO. It's quite good for everything but the

inflated copays. But, I am lucky that I have that. I couldn't imagine paying full price.
