I don't know exactly what's going on, but I'm on a mediocre Obamacare plan that costs less than the author's plan. Even though it's in the most expensive drug tier, as far as I can tell Abilify would cost me $70 a month. > I arrived in America just as Obamacare was rolling out. Since I couldn’t meet the deadline for insurance Well it's been rolled out for a while now. Can't he switch now?

Apparently it varies based on the plan: http://www.phrma.org/sites/default/files/pdf/exchanges-mental-health.pdf http://www.phrma.org/sites/default/files/pdf/exchanges-menta... (In some bronze plans, up to $4300 of deductible applies to medications) The article is not very careful. It goes from saying the drug is cheaper over in Queens to the "$720 a month my medication costs in America".
