LOL!!!

I work in the health insurance field, so I new that Medicare stopped paying for Viagra as of January 1, 2007.

I was in the pharmacy waiting for a prescription and the pharamcist was ringing up an elderly gentlemen. He told him it would be $56.00. The guy said what? Again, $56.00. The guy says it shouldn't cost that much, when I got it a few months ago I only paid a few dollars.

The pharmacist says, well it could be that your plan changed, let me look it up. The guy says ya, you're sure its $56.00 for 5 pills? Yup! The pharmacist comes back and says that it is correct. The guy says, forget it I don't want them.

The pharmacist smiles at him and says "it's not worth it?" And the guy says "Nope"!

I was nearly rolling on the floor because they never said it was Viagra but I could figure it out. Of course then when I paid for my prescription I couldn't even say anything to the pharmacist because of HIPAA and all that.

Tranquility
