I've been hearing about soaring prescription drug costs. On today's news, Senator Gillibrand is introducing legislation designed to get costs down.
I'll admit, I'm confused about this issue. For taxes, I track my wife's and my prescription costs. Maybe a third of our maintenance drugs are $0 copay and the rest are $15 for 3-months or less. In 2021, the only higher cost were a couple one-time fills. Maybe we're just blessed with no costly conditions and good insurance.
Help me out here. Is this really an issue or just politicians trying to sound good?
