Pfizer drug company raises prices of drugs

My husband and I pay over $300 per month for our health insurance through his job. Husband has a Medical Reimbursement Account also, and we put $300 per month into it. We get reimbursed for all out-of-pocket medical expenses (doctor visits, hospitalization, prescriptions, eye glasses, dental bills and some over-the-counter stuff). We have to use the money in the account or lose it each year. We do pay out about $250 per month on our prescriptions...add in eyeglasses or a dental bill, and we've never had a problem getting our MRA money back. It kind of scares me when I think what we might encounter if he does retire next summer (no more MRA account). I just hope he can keep his insurance after retirement. If not, he's either got to keep working or find another job for the insurance benefits alone.

I would imagine it is a very scary position to be in if you need to buy a lot of medication and are on a limited income .. I am forever grateful I live in England with it's good old National health Service .. even if it is a bit creaky and groaning with debt at the moment .. We have an excellent prepaid prescriptions plan where I have to pay just £96 a YEAR for all the medications I need .. and I take 12 tablets a day so you can imagine I need quite a lot .. I simply couldn't afford to pay anywhere near the amounts you are paying out ... I simply don't get enough in State Disability benefits to do that. £96 = just under $190 at todays exchange rate ..

Yeah I think

You're right, insurance bill is high nowadays and it's hard to find a insurance company that'll give you a good coverage for less money. I aways wonder if it's a good idea to pay for insurance than not to have one at all. But, I'm afraid it'll be way too much money we'll pay if we really have a big emergency if we don't have an insurance handy. You just can't win.

That is high. I have ms so I take shots myself and It can get expensive.

oh no plzzzzzzz stop it now

its not good to raise the price of medicines.

frnd, from my point of view its really cheap politics:( only politics:( noting but of that :(
