At pharmacy to pick up a refill on a prescription from my dermatologist. Using it for about ten years on as-needed basis. (Usually it lasts 12-18 months on one refill.)

Presto, the price is $645 because suddenly it is non-formulary for insurance. But also how is a common steroid cream that expensive?

U.S. healthcare system with insurance and pharma playing chicken with our money and health is beyond absurd.

It isn't a life or death drug for me, but these games piss me off.

@S_r_stone Get it filled at a Canadian pharmacy. Much less expensive for the same drugs. PharmStore.com is a good place to start.

@ediefr That is much better but still too expensive for what it is.

$43 at Pharmstore
$22 at Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's)

But I am not shopping as much as complaining about how dysfunctional our healthcare system is.

If Mark Cuban can sell the same thing for $22 then why is the pharmacy company trying to stick insurance with a $600 bill?

Crying for regulation.
