The doctor wrote me a script for Trelegy inhaler and I couldn't fill it because even with my plan, it was over 5 HUNDRED dollars for a 30 day supply.

Did you try their savings program? I got an asthma inhaler that's not covered by insurance that was supposed to cost about $500. I got it for like $20 with a manufacturer coupon. I've used one for $600 eye drops too. Here's one for Trelegy: https://www.trelegy.com/savings-and-support/

still seems like a fucked way to deliver health care.

Oh, it definitely is. Just good to know about the programs that actually exist to help somewhat.

Try the manufacturer. Sometimes they have discount plans for the drugs.

Have you tried Mark Cuban cost Plus Drugs? https://www.costplusdrugs.com/medications/Fluticasone-Salmeterol-250mcg50mcg-Tablet/

Maybe there is a generic or close to Trelegy

I will check but, last I read there is no generic for it and, it's 3 different meds in one inhaler.

Thanks for the info.

It’s for COPD? Surely, there is an alternative. You can also contact Glaxo SK and see if they offer any help.

Did I say there wasn't? I said I could not fill the script for the medicine that the doctor prescribed.

I should not HAVE to find an "alternative".

FUCK for-profit healthcare and FUCK anyone who supports it.

This is "supposed" to be the greatest country in the world. I should be able to afford the medicine that my doctor ( AND NO ONE ELSE) decides is best for me...

Biden had negotiated the reduction in price of Eliquis, an anti-coagulant that millions of Medicare patients are on. Decreasing the price from about $600 per month to less than $300. Trump trashed that agreement.

It makes me sad to see this knowing there are other countries in the world, even "poorer" ones that haven't screwed over their people on core, fundamental issues like health.
