I take eight different drugs daily, some are 2 a day as well. Karen takes three. Her health insurance is excellent and includes drugs, vision, and dental. The most we pay for ANY continuing chronic condition drug is $60.00 for a 3 month supply. In our cases none are that level, but two of them cost $40.00 for a 3 month supply. In 2006 the prescription plan paid $6415.00 for scrip meds and we paid only $1155.00. This also includes locally filled scrip for acute problems (antibiotics, etc.).
I have no idea what we would do without our current insurance.....$100 a month versus $600 a month.......that's a ton of money in this family.
