| I'm just blown away by some of the costs of meds. Have you ever opted to not fill a script due to the cost? | |

| OH Yes! I had one that my co-pay was way too much for what benefit I thot I'd get from the med, so I just skipped it.
Actually, I am leery of many meds and don't fill some scripts because I can get well without them. (I react to many meds and would rather do without the side-effects) | |

| Not because of cost. We haven't had some painkiller scrips filled because they were unnecessary. | |

| Yep.... with my federal employees aetna, almost every one of my monthly scripts was on their "non-formula" list meaning that I had to pay 50% of the price. When my anti-convulsive was added, my monthly scripts wound up being about $800 per month. I had to change plans... now I pay 25% of that unless i can do a mail order which comes to about $100. BIG difference between $800 and $100!!!! | |

| No but I do stand by my previous statement, if they ever DO make it that cough syrup is prescription only, we will NOT pay $80 on top of $8 for a bottle of Vicks44, we'll just cough on people. | |

| Yes, I just couldn't afford the $100 co-pay at the time. | |
