Why do you consider $30,000 dollars madness, but not $3,000? $100 for a single dose? Hand-shaken or not, it's still madness.

$100 for a single dose? Hand-shaken or not, it's still madness.
- supergeek133 10y agoNever said I didn't, but you have to take everything in context. If you take a pharmacist that has to be specially trained/certified to compound, plus one of the most potent/dangerous narcotic prescription painkillers out there and put them together, maybe $3,000 is the right price? I don't know how much any of those steps costs. Or what someone's time is worth there. 4-5 years ago, yes we thought $3k is obviously high, but then you put the fact that now her only answer is a $30k alternative? Context matters. The entire thing is madness back to how she ended up this way, but that's a longer story.
- philh 10y agoIt sounded to me like $100 for a thirty-day supply.
- metaphorm 10y agoit was implied that that was the insurance co-pay. her own out of pocket expense was only $100, but the overall cost of the medication was still $3000, thus $100/dose x 30 days per month = $3000/mo.
- supergeek133 10y agoYes, the co-pay was ~$100.
- BurningFrog 10y agoThe madness is to pay $30k when the $3k solution works fine.
- supergeek133 10y agoCorrect.
