You’re Overpaying for Drugs and Your Pharmacist Can’t Tell You

> Pusey’s contracts [...] bar him from volunteering the fact that for many cheap, generic medicines, co-pays sometimes are more expensive than if patients simply pay out of pocket and bypass insurance

Can they give the correct information if asked?

It sounds like some patient education could help - a list of questions to ask, like "is there a generic equivalent to this drug?"

Nice. Amazing the amount of asymmetric information. Makes me want to use an independent pharmacy or someplace like Costco. Or a way to price shop. Copays basically are a two way street. Sometimes good for you and other times better for the company.
