re: The Prior Authorization Process for Medicine

I'm on a psoriasis medication that technically costs thousands a month. I worked with my doctor and got it at a heavily reduced amount of 25 dollars a month through the actual pharm company. My insurance tries at least once a year to jump in, and I've had to fight them consistently to stay out of it. Best case scenario they save me 300 a year, worst case I lose access to this medicine, easy choice.

all you did was shift the costs to the other people that take the medicine.... you don't think the insurance company is going to, out of the goodness of their own heart, take that huge hit of lost profit, do you?
drug companies have BILLIONS of dollars to recoup for the R&D of the medication you are taking, and if they ain't getting it out of you, they'll simply shift that down the line... they ain't eating that cost, chief, i promise you that
