The 1200% Increase in my Prescription Drug Costs

In which Hank is pissed off because the price of his prescription drugs went up 1200% in one month. So he asks nerdfighteria to write a nice letter to Roger Boissonneault at rboissonneault@wcrx.com.

If you could ask him why the price went up so much, why the program expired four months early, and why no effort was made to contact my doctor about these dramatic changes, that would be fantastic. Also, whatever else you want to say.

I feel a little bit like this was a heroin deal "first time's free" kind of thing. Apparently, drug companies have the same marketing strategies as drug dealers...nice to know they're in such good company.

GO NHS!!! and its generous prescription charge cap. And even more generous free prescriptions for kids and oldies and unemployed. Oh what a utopian society i find myself in.

@nutmed I know, right. Capitalism is all well and good in some markets, but not the medical or educational markets.

I have Ulcerative Colitis as well. Thankfully, my parents have insurance and I am only 20, so I am still under their insurance. Over the past 4 years since I started showing symptoms, I can't imagine the expense. ...Either way, UC sucks and I'm sorry you have it Hank. Hopefully you have gotten into some sort of remission. I'm working on that now. DFTBA
