Yes! It’s another one of those George W. Bush gifts that keeps on giving. I have to pay full price for Armour Thyroid--a medication that doesn’t require research, development, advertising, patents--nothing. And that price is now in the hundreds, where once it came to $5 or so. What BS.

That's horrible. Dawna are you using a discount card, like GoodRX? I found that 90 60mg pills come to $88 with the card at Walmart and a few other places near me. Still a 20x increase is BS

We’re just grateful not to be on drugs listed in the $500-1000+ range! Why aren’t Americans sick of watching expensive, Prime Time marketing ads for designer drugs? Medications are prescribed, so why spend so much money targeting non-physicians? Then they run through possible side effects and contraindications at high speed, which NO ONE can follow, just to cover their collective asses. It’s madness, this world of Corporate Fascism . . . Watching an Ozempic ad at dinner time is nauseating.

I just went on Part D; they don’t even cover Armour Thyroid--only the synthetic, COMMERCIALLY DERIVED versions of thyroid supplement. Good Rx or SingleCare don’t offer any benefit at my designated pharmacy, Walgreens. My dose is 90 mg--sometimes fluctuating up to 120mg--a whole different price range.
