The health system as whole is messed up.
Pharmacy seems to take it to the next level. I'm baffled how a coupon printed from some random website gives me a cheaper prescription than my generally good employer sponsored health insurance.
My doctor prints these coupons (no login just a regular website) at the visit and tells me to make sure my insurance is actually cheaper than this stupid piece of paper makes the drug. Wtf man, how did we get here?
The one sane spot is Costco. The drugs are always cheap there. It's just Costco is a pain in the ass to get in and out of quickly.
Hotdog, soda and insulin combo: $1.50
It's because those sites sell your data that they get from processing the payment.
