Prescriptions

Of course my kids just can't get over their illnesses. 

Ciara has been through 4 rounds of antibiotics to get rid of her last ear infection (and the last prescription gave her a reaction).

And now Caden is on round 2 for his latest ear infection.

With Rocky's new job, we had to switch to an individual insurance plan.  His work pays a certain amount each month towards our premium, which makes it work out pretty well. 

The plan we currently have does not have a prescription coverage. 

It would have been and extra $100 per month to be covered (out of our pocket).

None of us are using any prescription on a regular basis, so we decided that it was just a waste.

Even after all the medicine we have needed these past few months, I still know it wouldn't be worth having the coverage.

But still.

Amoxicillian I am OK with.  At Walmart, it is only $4.  But the next antibiotic that we need is $81. 

Why does it have to cost so much?

If it doesn't work, can I bring it back for a full refund?

I would LOVE to see that!

Luckily we have a discount card that saved us $20.

Where do these discount cards come from?

If they are free, then why do I need a card?  Can't you just lower the price?

Obviously, I don't understand our health care system.

And the reason I don't understand it is:

IT MAKES NO SENSE.
