Am I the only one bothered by the fact that we're already paying for insurance, which is supposed to not only negotiate lower prices for drugs for us, but also pay for a percentage of the cost at the pharmacy? The last few times I have been prescribed something, it was better to use GoodRx than make a prescription claim with my insurance company. So, we're being weaned away from that, paying in a more direct manner for drugs, but still paying the same for insurance. We're overwhelmingly accepting the stealth downsizing of our insurance plans, and praising the people doing it.
