.......uh. yeah.....................meds....................Kinda' forgot to mention that....................sorry...................
Heart meds are all over the board in terms of price. Most Docs are pretty good about recognizing a patient's financial situation and trying other combinations and of course generic stuff as well. Some meds are very cheap and others, as you found out, are not. Talk to the Docs and lay ouut your situation.
I am extremely lucky to have insurance that covers drugs and I can get a THREE month supply of anything (literally, anything, no matter the cost) for fifteen bucks. Some plans are available even after surgeries or diagnosed conditions like Tom's that can save you something. Considering what we pay, it makes you wonder just how much markup there is in the stuff! Good luck in getting things worked out.
