What my $25 co-pay gets me.

1 Reply

I have my health insurance through my wife's job. I'm on SSDisability, which comes with Medicare A, which is Hospital only. A few weeks ago, she got a call from a sales agent trying to put me on Medicare/Medicaid, because I qualify for it. It was actually funny. They came across like they were doing us a favor.

I found out why...$5600/month for Zytiga, $2350/month for Xgeva, and the last two Lupron shots (6 month) were $2400 and $1800. And the other stuff, not for PCa.

And that's just the meds. Totally overpriced.
