I just picked up an Rx

[Jilly_in_VA]

Got it with GoodRx, which saved me $60 over what my Part D wanted to charge me. I was talking to the pharmacy tech about this and told her I have GoodRx, SingleCare, and Optum, and for some of my Rxs, especially new ones, I have to go through Part D and all 4 of those to figure out which one will give me the best price. The woman behind me overheard the discussion and chimed in with her own woes, the subject of which was Ozempic, and opined that nothing would change "until we get a Republican president." It was really hard not to laugh in her face, but I said, "You need to do some research on that." She said, "Oh, I have," and I said "Apparently not, or you wouldn't keep voting for them," and walked out.

God, these people are delusional. And she was probably close to my age, too.

1. Glad you said "Apparently not, or you wouldn't keep voting for them."

8. These people are unqualified to decide important things.

We call them Republicans, but there are many synonyms.

2. She did her own research... guaranteed to be someone who is an idiot.

3. Everything is a lie and everything is wrong

It’s become a special spirit in their world.

Even someone as dumb as Candace Owens can figure that out.

11. And how bout all the old patriotic conservatives who

Didn’t take the Covid vaccine because they valued their freedom. Did lil Candace go to all their funerals?

We may have another shot soon. Keep your ears and eyes out.

4. Good for you!

Hopefully it will at least make her think about it. I always shoot for that.

5. Her own research was probably just what she saw on Focks Nooze and NoozeMax.

I'm sure Repukes will soon try to claim credit for Biden's plan to negotiate drug prices for MediCare.

Once it proves successful, those roaches that have been blasting it will soon try to say they knew it all along, and that is why they deserve to stay in Congress. Even the ones that have filed lawsuits on behalf of the drug companies that line their pockets.

6. In my state (VT) I can use the 340B program to get all my meds at hospital rates.

Not sure how that works in VA. For me my 90-day supply ends up at around $150 vs. around $700.

KHN and ProPublica have had quite a few good articles on the scandal of US drug pricing.

7. If Jilly_in_VA saved $60, how much was the cost to her?

I'm flabbergasted!

I get mine free. From now to the end of the calendar year.

Google 'Prescription safety net for Australian pensioners' for details.

9. "Research" is one of those words they've trashed into Nazi code, like liberty, patriot, & freedom.

[OMGWTF]

16. Truth. There's a road by us called "Patriot Avenue" and I groan every time we pass by.

[BOSSHOG]

10. The woman behind you was right

Nothing will change until we get a Republican President. From damn good to absolutely horrible. Please Vote for every (D) on every ballot. Vote as if your freedom depended on it. Vote for democrats because billionaires don’t want you to.

12. My so called drug plan from Medicare Advantage has a co-pay of $30 for each

90 day in-network prescription. With good Rx I pay $6, $6, $6 and $12 for each 90 day prescription, as of now
I don't even use the drug plan it saves nothing.

13. Most people would have no problems with their prescriptions under a GOP regime.

They'd be dead because drugs were priced 100X what they are now.
Along with the vax deniers who paid the price.

[slightlv]

14. I have one Rx that is

over $300 at both CVS and Walmart. Even Walmart is over $200. I had to get the script filled at Dillon's with SingleCare, but the price is only $20. I don't know how these cards do it... what kind of arrangement they have, but I hope it doesn't go away. I have several higher priced drugs due to my lupus and fibromyalgia. It is a pain in the butt to remember which pharmacy I use for which script, but with these kinds of savings, I check both singlecare and goodrx. Nearly every single one of my drugs I can get cheaper than my with Med Advantage copay.

I agree about the idiocy of the R's... especially those my age. They're died in the wool, and they ain't changing their mind. Just plain sad, as well as maddening!

15. I'm so fking sick of being locked in a room with the slow learners.

17. Might be interesting to ask her where #DementiaDonnie's

long-promised cheaper healthcare plan is.
