Yes! I have diabetes. Believe me I am aware of this.
A vial of my humalog approaches $300. A visit to the endo is $500 on the bill.
But there is no reason why these things are so expensive! Other than that I have to have insurance so I have to be "in network" and oh, my insurance helpfully consults with a pharmacy benefits manager to decide which medications are "covered."
At no point do I have any choice in any of this. I'm not talking about choosing to have diabetes or not, I'm talking about choosing treatments for my diabetes. Always, it is a conglomerate like UHC choosing which things I have to buy this month. How convenient for them that they choose how much it costs!
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoIn theory the choice should be in which insurance company you use. One of the biggest mistakes in the US system is having tied that to your employment, and then it's not you choosing anymore.
