Thank you Obamacare!! Prescription drug prices are going way way up.
Well I have a diabetic cat chuckle I have to give her insulin every day. She takes Lantus, the same stuff they use for people. I have only been giving it to her for about 3 months. The vet had some extra insulin they gave to me so I didnt have to buy any right away. I called the vet today to get a refill on her prescription. Last month when I called to check prices the cheapest place I found was sams club for $98. Today the vet told me it is now $198 for the same size vial at sams club. I was quite confused and asked why, she said "Its because of obamacare. Now that everyone has to have insurance the drug companies can charge whatever they want"
Lucky for me that vial will last about 6 months, so I can afford it. But what about the people that use 1 or more of those vials a month?

Re: Thank you Obamacare!! Prescription drug prices are going way way up.
I had a diabetic cat. Changed Cat food to Fancy Feast/ Meow mix maybe (orange platic bottom with pull off top) In a can. He is no longer diabetic. You need to do some research on-line and thank me when you save alot of money.

Patches is a Snow shoe cat he not only lost weight but no longer "sick". He runs around and attacks things and plays. He is 9 years old and we changed his food 2 years ago.

Rambo the Mainecoon eats anything (human food, loves peanuts) and rules the house/yard.

Boil chicken and raw meat are good too.

You need to do research online and save your cats and money. Its the first 3 things its made off that really matter.

My neighbor was just told his doctor can not refill his pain meds, injured firefighter.

I got a letter 3 days ago saying my eye medication was getting limited to a specific number a year. We'll have to pick the fight and get it changed, I'd be blind in a month with out it. Not like people are abusing glaucoma eye meds.

With type 1 insulin no amount of exercise or diet will make you less dependent on insulin, and most type1 diabetics are skinny you would not pick them out of a line up and say they are the unhealthy ones. Please do your research before you start preaching to the church. rant

8 years with a diabetic dog and spent $15,000. Before price increases. Yes, she was fat. Some asshole put her in my mailbox and I just thought she had a small head and was funny looking. Never saw the parents. Did not realize she was fat.

Great Government we have. Get everyone addicted to their poisonous drugs then run the price up to the moon. Bait and switch. This is what happens when they create a communist monopoly. They have no competition and so can charge whatever they want.

For me...I would never take any of their drugs but understand that some people have to have them especially the poor souls that let those butchers cut out their tyroid glands.

Re: Thank you Obamacare!! Prescription drug prices are going way way up.
It already increased twice this year moron. Once in April and once in August.

[link to www.bloomberg.com]

"Sanofi (SAN) raised the U.S. price of its Lantus insulin for a second time this year and Novo Nordisk A/S (NOVOB) may follow suit before an onslaught of generics increases competition in the $35 billion diabetes market.
Sanofi raised the U.S. wholesale price of its Lantus vials by almost 15 percent to $16.64 per milliliter and of its Lantus Solostar injection pens by almost 10 percent to $18.38 per milliliter, Jack Cox, a spokesman for Paris-based Sanofi, said in an e-mail. Those increases followed a 10 percent price increase in April for both versions of Lantus, the world’s best-selling diabetes treatment."

Re: Thank you Obamacare!! Prescription drug prices are going way way up.
I just feel bad for people. This one guy I know is diabetic and takes insulin. He is 65 and uninsureable. IF he can get insurance its going to be crazy expensive plus his meds just doubled in price. I bet he would pay more now for insulin and monthly insurance premiums than he does for his fucking house every month...

No kidding



Snip; Obamacare was officially declared a big, fat tax and now, the IRS is moving forward with plans to tax pretty much everything it can. I've already written extensively about the job and innovation killing medical device tax, but according to a GAO report, the IRS has the authority to tax drug companies for the number of life saving medications it sells. As a result, drug prices go up and costs are passed onto patients who need those medications.


Snip2;Compared to comparable existing individual and family plan copays and coinsurance costs, consumers with prescription drug coverage can expect to pay an average of 34 percent more out of pocket for these medications if trends continue.

You're darned right we'll be commenting. I'm 67, my boyfriend is 74, I have a lady friend who is 83 - none of take any sort of prescription or OTC drugs or medications, nothing (we're also normal weight). People don't want to take responsibility for their health, they'd rather live on prescriptions instead of "working at it" and eating a healthy diet. It's amazing how many conditions and diseases can be mitigated or even cured by healthy foods. The norm should not be to slog around as a sick obese pill and junk-food addict. So there.

So, provide a link where SAN has doubled the price for Lantus since August? They can't just raise the price without informing their shareholders. I think whoever told you that drug companies can charge whatever now is stupid. That's not how business works.

Now, if they meant the insurance idiots can raise your co-pay or deductible that's a different story.

You are clueless about diabetes.

Do you even know the difference between type I (juvenille) and type II (adult onset) diabetes? Type I has nothing to do with weight. I know four people with type I diabetes, 2 are children, 2 are grown but dx as kids, all are thin and fit.
