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

I'm not going to apologize for telling the truth on forms provided by the company that created and sells the drug to receive a better price, with help from my former and current doctors.

nor am i saying you should... i'm simply pointing out that that cost doesn't simply "disappear".... it's shifted to someone else...

drug costs are high b/c it takes A LOT of time, money, and effort, to develop them, but realistically, a lot of drugs are developed now with the explicit purpose of being a cash grab... there is likely already something that has BEEN developed, and is available as a generic b/c its older and off patent, that will work for whatever condition it is you are treating...

ain't like they are making "cures" for things, b/c the money ain't in a "cure"... it's all about making money off of something that is known to work, but is slightly different than the last drug, for whatever condition, that just came out and made tons of money for the developing company...
