Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My first Eliquis for the year (90 days) cost about $8/day now (up from about $6/day first of last year.) With the various weird insurance reimbursements, it was $3/day at the end of '23, but I expected it to jump in January. BUT from $6 to $8/day was more than expected. I realize that pharmaceuticals are a whole other class of inflating prices - not always tethered to real costs but to our desire for even better drugs in the future. In essence, we're paying up front for (let's hope) a cure for heart disease, or cancer or Alzheimers Disease. If one of those comes out in pill form, my pharma inflation will be well worth it. I guess we'll see.
