Do you guys pay for your own pills?

This year I’ve paid a total of $60.00 for all my meds.

I get my pills from the V.A. So the government pays for my meds

Medicare pays for most of my medication, I pay about 20 bucks or a little more each month for my medications. Or if I don’t have the money when I need the pills refilled my parents will pay for me. Otherwise my Seroquel alone is like over 200 a month for prescription…I used to get them for free from my doctor, but then I got on Medicare so it pays most of the bill now, just not all of it.

I have insurance through my job with a $15.00 co-pay for my meds. That is how I get my meds.

My insurance pays for most of mine. i just have a $2.00 co-pay.

I think this guy is a spy from somewhere.

I’m retired and have insurance paid for by my former employer. My copay is less than $10.00

yes i have too pay for my medication.
if it is in a year above 300 euro then its insurred.

Any guesses on where i might be a spy from?

I would like to know here more from the people that pay for their own pills and how much they pay.

My meds are covered by the pharmaceutical benefits scheme in Australia so only pay like $15 a month

Medicare and Medicaid pay most of the cost. For all my medications I pay about $6.00 or $7.00 a month.

Mine are paid through the government. I wish there was something to help with supplements.

My medication is paid partly by AARP. I pay a small copay. I have to pay an insignificant monthly premium to United Health Care, a subsidiary of AARP.

I lose $104.90 to Medicare premiums, and an additional $68 to my Medicare Advantage Plan through Humana. Brand name drugs are $6.60 and generics are $2.65. My GP visit costs me a $15 copay, while specialists like a pdoc run me $45. I spend a lot of money to get the level of care that I do.

Both my wife and I have benefits packages thru work, although hers are more comprehensive. My meds are 100% covered, which is good because they aren’t cheap.

I pay my own private insurance premiums and I have $100 copay on many prescriptions and I will soon have to apply for medicaid because I’ve spent my life savings in the last three years on medical and prescription bill.

I’m on sickness benefits in UK so gov pays for mine

No. I think you paid for your meds with your service to the government.

My dad thought the same way. He was retire from the Navy. When someone would tell him he was lucky because he got his medical care for free.
He would tell them he didn’t get it for free. He worked for it.
