Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 My partner in Palm Springs is facing an issue about which I would like to ask the group. The short version is that his insurance company has now made generic drugs MORE expensive than the brand name drugs. It seems that insurance companies are gouging prices, as well as taking advantage of the long term indoctrination that generics are cheaper than brand names. His pharmacist has seen this happening a lot! The generic drugs are being changed from Tier I (the cheapest) to Tier III (very expensive) thus making them more expensive than brand name drugs. We have discussed this with Rep. Bono and there is now a Senate investigation into this unbelievably nasty situation. Please keep an eye out on the prices if you take generics. We are preparing to contact the media in order to bring this disgusting activity by the insurance companies to the general public's attention.
