    I felt so defeated when I went to pick up some medication last night which was $100 instead of $60 which it had been the previous month. I asked if there were any coupons available and the pharmacist said that was AFTER the coupon price. $100 for 15 pills.

    I’ve been paying out of pocket for this med for years since my insurance company determined I had reached the “lifetime benefit limit” for that drug. I submitted an appeal earlier this year and was shut down. I’ve talked to my doctor about alternative drugs, and he said pretty much all the rest have significant side effects.

    And after this week’s elections, I’m sure it’s only going to get worse over the next four (or more) years.

      “Life time benefit limit for that drug” is some of the most dystopian shit I’ve ever heard.

      “You pay us for this service, but it’s time to die now.”

      What a shitshow. I’m sorry.
