Prescription Drug Costs Are A Travesty
I am on Medicare. I have an International Union plan for my prescriptions.
I take Eliquis, 5 mg, 2 times a day.
I was getting my Eliquis from mail order, Expresscripts, and I was paying $4.45 per pill.
I was in my local drug store and asked a pharmacist friend of mine if there was a cheaper plan.
I went in the drug store a month later and the pharmacist says he found a better plan. He hands me a card from Bristol Myers Squibb. The card is a $10.00 co-pay card. I ask him how much will I pay and he says 10 dollars but we can only fill it for 30 days. That amounts to my paying 16 1/2 cents per pill. I was in shock. The card is good for 2 years and after 2 years I just make a phone call to renew it. I have been using it for a year now.
I am buying my pharmacist friend a birthday present every year.

I am a veteran and a follow veteran told me to go see a VA doctor to get my prescriptions. Now I pay small co-pays. It beats the $150 per month I was paying before.
