Yep. I saw that. There are also similar studies about the prices of wine.

Just a thought:
ASK your doc for a generic. Unless you have tried two or three generics that
don't do the job, there are few areas of medicine where only ONE branded drug
does the trick. BTW this is not all one sided: durgs that you pay through
the nose for are TWICE as effective. A recent study showed double the pain
relief (70%) by a placebo that people thought was expensive when compared to
the same placebo that people thought was cheap (35%)...
Hmmmmmm.....

One thought is to check out Wal-Mart's generic drug program - 30 day supply
costs ... $4. That's the price, not a copay.

Thanks. That's a thought. We'll look into it, but so far only one of mine is
a generic. All the others (3) are still in patent. By our paying for it at
Wal-Mart, our insurance would not be a part of the transaction at all. I ask
the representative. She liked the idea. Of course, that means the insurance
company is out nothing even though we are still making our monthly premium
payments.
