    My wife just picked up a prescription today on her way to her quilt guild meeting. This medication used to have a copay of $7.00. Previous copay was $17.00. Today her copay was $80.00! Talk about the Biden tax! Has anyone else seen something like this in their prescription costs?

    No, but I only take Lisinopril for blood pressure. It costs me $1.70 for 90 days.

    Our “drugs” cost us $6 a month each ..I take 2 different BP meds and a Cholesterol
    hubs takes one BP med and he’s just recently been put on blood thinners.
    Our very generous government gives us $3.50 a fortnight between us for a medication allowance
    that’s never increased however the chemist puts our meds price up on Jan 1st each year
