F*$k our healthcare system in US. I just found out that one of my new prescriptions is going to be $250 a month

And that's with insurance. I have shitty insurance, I pay an arm and leg for it to not cover jack shit. I am so pissed, I can't afford this and there is no generic option it's a specialty prescription. I am already am struggling with just everyday life expenses. It's messed up that I have to put it on a credit card just so I can keep my health up so I can work to survive.

Alright I needed to get that vent out. I am going to go take my anger out on walk

Get a different insurance that covers more things and meds included?

@YoMomma Not an option, it's employer sponsored so they pay part of it but there is only one option

@SlippingAway oh 😤 that’s not right 😤 are you sure it’s not a better option to entirely ditch their option and go for something else entirely? 😤

@YoMomma Unfortunately no, and the 2026 individual market place rates are expected to double if they don't pass the ACA concessions that are due to expire at the end of this year. So it will be even worse next year for folks if that doesn't happen. You can only get credits if your employer doesn't offer a plan not if the plan is expensive :(
