Skipped going to a doctor for around 10 years, and first time I go in, they give me blood pressure, cholesterol, and type two diabetes. One way to get even with having to miss that boat payment over the years, right? ;-]
New to the "subscription" vs prescription game and just now got around to reading the small print ... the reams and reams of small print, that come with the lil brown bottles. My pharmacy lists a "usual and customary" price as well as my co-pay.

That's not necessarily what your insurance actually pays, as there's apparently all sorts of back door agreements between them and pharmacies, which would explain why the corner druggist went the way of the dinosaur. Real eye opener though ... a month's supply lists a U&C of almost $500 ... and my copay is $10. All of a sudden, the monthly premium I pay blue cross is a whole lot less annoying. All of a sudden, I'm saving money instead of spending it! Sort of ...
