They can't just raise the price without informing their shareholders. I think whoever told you that drug companies can charge whatever now is stupid. That's not how business works. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40502147 Now, if they meant the insurance idiots can raise your co-pay or deductible that's a different story. Just go check walmart or sams club prices... was $100, now its $200. And no its not insurance premiums, my cat does not have insurance.... Libtard shills are in denial that "sh*t flows downhill".

Big deal for them to pay $2 per prescription. But try a brand name that does not yet have a generic and you are just SOL. They start telling you to take a cheaper something or other even if you already know from past experience it won't work. Humana mostly is where I have been looking for both my mother and myself. It's very discouraging. . One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

You can also order pet meds (pet insulin?) online from a couple places for much less than the rip off vets. I got eye ointment for my cat for less than $3 and my vet had been charging me $16.
