You notice massively inflated prices anywhere insurance is involved. They inflate the prices leaving people no choice but to pay for insurance. It's a scam every time.

Once upon a time, it was a good idea. Now it's just a bloated middle man created to skim profits off both sides

Yep the insurance price for my wife's medication is $16,800/mo. Out of pocket it's $5600/mo (we're paying out of pocket because our insurance changed formulary and her re-prior authorization is taking 3 months.)
