MY meds are crazy expensive...My Rytary and Ozempic for diabetes along with other meds put me in the Medicare catastrophic category. (More than $2000 per year) I am on a monthly payment plan and pay the insurance company $166 a month and get all my meds from CVS with no money exchange.

If the cost of your medication is ruining your budget try - costplusdrugs.com have high deductible insurance which doesn't pay for much unless you meet your deductible. I save about 85% on my meds compared to using my insurance or something like Good Rx. Some of my friends & family have switched to costplusdrugs. because their meds were alot cheaper.. If there is a generic for your meds you should check them out
