Conversely from OP's topic, my daughter had to take mesnex that, even with insurance, is $100 per pill (in the hospital's pharmacy which was annoyingly out of network). Her physician couldn't have been kinder and scrambled to find a less expensive one in the city. He said they normally give them when they can, but the admin on duty wasn't allowing them to do it. It was down to the wire so my husband went to the pharmacy to get it filled. There was some more red tape involved so the process was delayed. The pharmacist was so mad about our situation that he just gave him the pill free of charge.

The nurse, physician, and pharmacist all rad. Hospital admin not so much.
