Dig this: I work at a VA and theVA gets huge drug discounts on brand name drugs like Pradaxa (a blood thinner that retails for $250/month without insurance). They pay $43/month for it. But Congress made it ILLEGAL for their Medicare Part D drug insurance plan to negotiate with drug companies on prices for their enrollees. Figure that one out right? And by the way you don't need a prescription for the older animal based insulins in the US (regular, NPH). But you do need one for the newer brand names like Lantus and Novorapid. Go friggen figure!</p></blockquote><p></p>
