[QUOTE="BrangusUSA, post: 1506703, member: 29753"] So husband was at endocrinologist this morning and he was prescribed a couple more drugs for glucose, thyroid, etc. Jardiance at $400 per month. Keep in mind he is already on Keytruda at $12,500 per month at Emory - $150,000 per year for that one med. He is taking about 14 meds in all. Not complaining as we are blessed to have good insurance but...what happens to people who dont? You could hock everything you own and still not afford more than about a year. Never invested much in stocks but I cant help but realize drug companies are making a killing. Also, why do we pay so much more in the USA for drugs? On the brighter side, I did tell the husband that I had once again managed to screw an insurance company legally as the second dose of his keytruda probably covered every payment to Blue Cross/Blue Shield I ever made. I am just puzzled at how much longer this can go on... [/QUOTE]
