Re: Insurance Company Does Not Want to approve TYKERB

If someone will E-mail me the address of the insurance company Ill write them too. I am a pharmacist in his sixties who can remember the pre-insurance, third party days when people paid for their meds like you buy food. the prices of the drugs were 1-2% of what they cost today. Tykerb might cost a faily 200 dollars for a months supply not 7000. What family could afford 7000-8000 a month for one drug? I smile when I work at Rite aide and somebody pais a 45 dollar copay for a drug only partly covered by insurance. Invariably they will ask something like "What would it cost me without insurance?" The answer: 275 dollars. The response : WHEEEEEEEW Thank GOD I have insurance. What the people dont realize is that the copay they are paying is twice as much as they would have paid in the cash days of 20plus years ago. If you want me to write send me the address of the Insurance company. My e-mail address is Donocco5w4@AOL.com
