I didn't want to take the other thread off topic but maunakumu's post here made me think of an incident that happened this weekend.
My niece pulled a tendon (or ligament, not sure which) in her shoulder late last week. She went to the doc. He told her she needed an anti-inflammatory and could NOT take anything over the counter. Why? I have no idea. After all, 4 OTC ibuprofen = 1 prescription inbuprofen.
Anyway, her mom is out and has her prescription so she stops at Osco pharmacy to fill it. The charge comes to $117 dollars for like 10 pills! She says forget it, she'll go somewhere else. They ask if she has her insurance card. She replies that she does not have her daughters insurance card with her.
They say, "one moment" and come back and tell her the cost will be $39.99.
WTF???
