Original post

I always say it but when my mom was fighting cancer and lost her job we were in a really tough financial spot and her medication went from $500/mo with no insurance to $13/mo with @costplusdrugs. It quite literally saved her life.

Mark Cuban says a kid was paralyzed in a car accident and lost his insurance, medication cost $10,000 every 3 months, his pharmacy sells it for $61, the difference kept them from going bankrupt

“The guy’s kid was in a car accident and got paralyzed. His drug, Droxidopa, it was going to cost them $10,000 every 3 months”

“We didn’t carry it. I said let me check, turns out we could, we get it for $61 a month, 98% cheaper”

My wife has a liver disease, @BCBSM denied the medicine her dr prescribed and that was helping, @Walgreens wanted $10k/month for it. So we went to @costplusdrugs , without insurance and pay $200/month to treat her liver.

Mark Cuban says a man with cancer stopped taking his meds so he wouldn’t leave his family in debt, the drug cost $93 but his pharmacy sells it for $43, a $50 gap was deciding whether he lived

“We’ve been able to save people. I mean, literally people will walk up to me on the street and hug me or start crying or send emails”

“My dad has cancer and he didn’t want to saddle us with credit card debt when he died. So he decided not to take his medications anymore”

But then we went to costplusdrugsdotcom and instead of being $93 that we can’t afford, it was $43 which we could afford. Life changing”
