To the Editor:
In these day’s of extreme horse puckey (Presidential Primary) I’m finding out why Martin Shkerli, CEO of Valent ( Canada) and Turing Pharma Insurance Companies had a smirk on his face when he faced the congressional hearing last month.
Just two months ago, most of our Medicare Part ” D ” drugs had no copay. Now we find out that those SAME drugs cost between $50 and $60. One of the drugs my wife takes had a copay of $24, now the same drug is $135. Yes these are all generic but you see the “co” name has changed and so NEW pricing goes into effect.
Now for all you privatized folks that think that is the way to go, remember these Medicare Part “D” co’s are all PRIVATE . For those of you that are covered with work related insurance and pay little or nothing, this means nothing to you but for everyone else – PAY up!
