Yesterday, I picked up Ashley's new prescription drug, Prevacid. Prevacid should help Ashley with her reflux, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. With the cost of this medication it better cure her of this disease. The medication with insurance will cost us $70 a month; that's $840 a year. People that don't have insurance, Prevacid would cost them about $380 a month. The cost of prescription drugs is ridiculous.
Prevacid is now just one of 5 medications that Ashley is taking everyday. She is also on a nebulizer (for her lungs), Atrovent (for her sinuses), Actigall (for her liver) and an antibiotic (because of her low white blood cell count and platelet count). One of these days I will sit down and add up our monthly prescription drug expenses. Of course, that monthly expense will not only include Ashley's 5 medicines but it will include my 3 prescriptions; two for high blood pressure and one for severe allergies and it will include Brad's prescription for his allergies. What would we do without insurance, I hope and pray that we never ever have to find out.
