healthcare PSA: medication costs
consumer reports issued an analysis comparing out-of-pocket costs for various medications at popular pharmacies
Looking at medications that treated diabetes, depression, high cholesterol, blood clots and asthma, analysts totaled how much a month's supply of each of those five drugs would cost at one pharmacy and then used that as an indicator of how expensive that pharmacy was.
source
most expensive - CVS $916
least expensive - Costco $167
holy moly that's a difference of $749 for the exact. same. medications!
takeaways:
- cut costs by buying the generic version, not the brand name drug
- costco for the win! you can purchase medications from a costco pharmacy even if you don't have a costco membership
but pass on the chicken bake and churros girlfriend - that's how you got high cholesterol in the first place!
