what? how? how can they sell it for $195 then? pharmacy knows if you have insurance and then sells it to you for a more expensive pricetag?

  $195 was the retail price for the name brand drug. Even though my doctor had prescribed the generic (which I've taken for many years now - in fact I don't think I've ever taken the name brand), the pharmacies were charging the name brand price for the generic unless you had insurance. One time when Blue Shield messed up on my premium payment and the pharmacy didn't think I had any coverage, I went ahead and paid the full $195 out of pocket to avoid delaying the refill. That was what got me curious about checking the actual cost of what I was buying. Here's how I feel about this: "Nice prescription you've got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
