Had heard one of my meds had released a generic so I was enquiring about it and the conversation turned to Ins. Cos. And copays etc, and he told me the drug Cos. Pay the Ins. Cos. To put their meds on their formularies. And round and round she goes. SigP229R Harry Callahan "A man has got to know his limitations".

And it comes with the agreement as to how much the insurer is paying for the med, so... that’s kind of the point. It’s not a conspiracy. How do you suppose Wally World’s $4 med list works? -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

Man, you are going to have your mind blown when your realize that food brands pay supermarket chains to have their products placed on the shelves, or that publishers pay to have books displayed prominently on bookstore shelves... | |||

Yep We switched health insurance this year, and for a lot of medicines it’s cheaper to get the brand name drug than the generic because of the deals pharma has with the insurance company I couldn’t figure out why some of my wife’s monthly medicine had quintupled in price. Under the old insurance we got the generic. And the pharmacy just kept giving us the generic when we changed even though it cost 5 times more I was not pleased —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | |||

I wish the Triscuit people would pay more, because those damn things are on the bottom shelf. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

So that’s why Glory brand canned foods are on the bottom shelf of my San Diego supermarkets. Now I know… Serious about crackers | |||

Yeah. You would think they would know that their target audience is not keen on having to bend over. Snack food should be easily accessible! | |||

I wonder what Glock had to pay to get John Wick to change from HK.  | |||

Express Scripts? We are seeing a lot of that with them. Ends up being cheaper for the insurance as they get rebates from the drug manufacturer. What I'd like to know is, are they passing that on to the consumer in the form of rate decreases? | |||

Yeah, I think it’s express scripts through united healthcare I have only myself to blame. As the COO of our business, I was the one that chose to switch from anthem to United. But the rate increase from anthem for less coverage was more than I was willing to pay and could afford I haven’t been unhappy with United. But I don’t know all the tricks like I did with anthem

You can bet the answer to that one is a resounding NO. SigP229R Harry Callahan "A man has got to know his limitations". Teddy Roosevelt "Talk soft carry a big stick" I Cor10: 13 "1611KJV" | |||
