Now, some of the country’s largest hospital systems are taking an aggressive step to combat the problem: They plan to go into the drug business themselves, in a move that appears to be the first on this scale.

if you’re in this same boat, go to https://goodrx.com and search for your prescriptions. the Walmart pharmacist told me to look into it cuz I was really upset when they quoted me the price and it really saved my ass. they give you different, LOWER prices for a lot of different pharmacies, so you can even search for the best price before you fill your meds. here’s an example, and remember Walmart said this shit was gonna cost me over $60:

and the website says that pharmacies are REQUIRED to honor this discount, and gives you steps to take it they refuse.

ALSO there have been shortages of medication because multiple manufacturers will stop making it because it’s SO cheap they don’t feel they’re making enough of a profit.  The injectable antipsychotic Haldol had a shortage a few years ago, leaving an EXTREMELY vulnerable population unmedicated and providers scrambling to switch them to something that will be equally effective but *gasp!* more expensive and sometimes not covered by their insurance.
