    My dad was pretty stoked that my mom’s expensive prescription was covered by this because every year they had to go through an annoying process of applying to different programs to help cover it.

    Hmmmm I wonder if he’s regretting his vote today.

      I had a refill on one of mine just after the new years that was $660 for 30 days, no generic.

      Doc hooked me up with the manufacturer who set me up with a “co-pay coupon” which reduced it to $10.

      Get this:
