Suckage! Turns out the woman I spoke with earlier from Walgreens didn't know what she was talking about and gave me bad information. She quoted me a price of $27.49 for a 12-dose box of Josie's medicine. I now know that it's $27.49 PER DOSE, not per box. That makes a box cost $329.88. And we need two of them. Good grief! I've been looking around online for better prices. Looks like Canada is going to come to my rescue. I've found a couple places that have the same medicine for about $100 per box. It's still ridiculously expensive, but at least a bit more reasonable.


Yeesh... surprised it's that much cheaper up here.

GORDO:
The combination of your managed health care system and switching over to a generic brand made it crazy cheap. That doesn't work for all medicines, but we got lucky with this one. We ended up paying just over $8 per dose instead of $30.
