Hey now, dontcha know they mark up prices if you pay with insurance? It's how the drug companies get even more money!

If you quit your job, the medication might actually be only $4k!

Actually, no joke, most drug companies will happily give you coupons or even free meds. They already got everything they can out of your insurance, they’ll happily bump that $700 out of pocket cost to $10.
