Hi Ed,
It works a bit differently here, with private insurance paying drug costs for a sizable (but shrinking) number of people.
Some coverage requires trials of certain generic medications before the new-fangled drug can be tried. After that (or for more comprehensive plans) the insurance company pays the outrageous price.
I remember reading the cost for my mothers brand name lyrica (50mg) when she first took it. It was a few hundred dollars. She was also taking brand name seroquel which was over a hundred a month as well.
