Hello ,
how much do you guys pay for meds and how ?

In the UK everyone pays national insurance out of their pay
This entitles them to NHS prescriptions which are £8.00 each time , if your unemployed or on certain benefits you can get them free.
I have recently been on pregabalin ( which costs £70 to make one prescriptions worth )
It was costing the government £200 million alone on pre gabalin
Then gabbapentin came along which was much cheaper to make
Are there not more cost effective meds your insurance company would let you have ?
Or could you say get all the people on say ambient or klonpin to get a group insurance so you could buy meds in bulk ?
Or am I being niave ?

Also in UK if you have under active thyroid you can get free prescriptions , does this not happen in USA
Bye
