¶ Dumb drugs
I find it very frustrating to try to negotiate the different forms necessary for prescription benefit assistance (or whatever it is called). I can only imagine how tough it must be for poorly educated individuals to manage (which is to say, nearly impossible).
I don’t imagine that they do it on purpose. I think they’re probably doing it because they have legal obligations, but it kind of feels like even when they’re trying to make it easy the red tape is still overwhelming. I officially feel pity for pharm companies. How I can pity the heartless corporations that gouge me for $700/month?
OK, I only feel a little sympathy, but it’s more than I’ve felt before and perhaps more than they deserve. But I still do.
