Rant on shipping

Trump was attempting to put limits on drug prices.
Guess that idea is gone forever ...now!

There scary part about the medication I'm on. If my insurance refused to approve it, I would have received it for $25 a dose from the manufacturer.

If that's scary how about this I've been on Eliquis for a few years now;
my co-pay is $50 every month, however if I go on the website I ca get a coupon for $5 co-pays!!!!!
that'd be nice wouldn't it, Oh wait you go to the VA for annual routine checkups because you go to the VA
or if you are on medicaid or medicare you are not able to get these nice negotiated prices.
Anyone under any federal care or aid program can not use the discounted co-pays per federal law.
That is how screwed up much of our regulations are.

My Lyrica Rx retailed at about $700 a month prior to going generic without insurance. Now its about $25 with GoodRx. It accounted for 17% of Pfizers revenue before their trademark expired. Have you noticed the Lyrica TV ads stopped?

Sort of shipping related, where is the box you can check to stop junk mail and political flyers? Remember the Do Not Call list?

Too bad that it doesn't work, now they just spoof somebody else's number so you don't know who is calling. First I was getting 3 and 4 messages per day from the same number, which was the last half of a recording. I finally blocked my own number and called theirs... it was for extended auto warranty coverage. THen I started getting multiple calls per day from various numbers; my phone has a blcok feature but as soon as I blocked one they would start using another. Until recently I was getting 10-12 calls per day from various places across the US.

If you go to the VA, why don't you just have them mail you the Eliquis?
VA copay is $8/month.

Because my primary insurance is CDPHP first thru my work and now thru my wifes.
Because I carry insurance they don't want to be primary.
And in some respects I am glad my PSA numbers were going up a few years ago,
VA doc prescribed some meds to lower the number, that didn't do a thing for the prostate cancer.
Which radiation seems to have taken care of.
And at the time they were still doing cumadine and wouldn't write for the Eliquis.

Medicare is my primary and the state retiree insurance is secondary. I never wanted VA because I knew it would be a nightmare and there were veteran's that really needed them. My only service related problem would be tinnitus and some hearing loss. Others are much worse off.

The extended warranty calls have picked up again. They took off for Christmas. Then started up this past week. I've probably gotten 30 calls, all from different numbers.
