or, you must have an excellent insurance plan! i have medicare part d and my copay just went from $42 (60 pills 300mg) a month to $77 (from tier 2 to tier 3) and i had to have my pdoc send in a bunch of information requested a tier reduction for "hardship" reasons. i've been denied once but she is appealing. and the really crappy thing is, Seroquel XR stayed at the lower rate! how stupid that is. consumer = 0, AstraZeneca = 1000. blahhh

I don't know what a co-pay is...i mean in Canada our drugs are cheaper for the exact same thing...that's what i am getting at. If i payed the whole price i would pay 40 dollars. However there are no tiers in here...my husband has medical coverage from his work (witch is very common here even if you work at MacDonald or 7-11 every company has drug coverage of the very minimum of 50 percent..that's for ANY drug,,there are no tiers.)Of course if you don't work and are on government assistance or disability AISH then your medications are free. Anyways i am just wondering again how something could be 178 dollars there when it is 40 dollars here...and it is the same...it's not a generic or whatever.
