| Insurance companies can be infuriating. But, it's not all their fault. Drug companies have a huge part to play. I still can't wrap my brain around why a box of strips costs over $100. patients and insurance companies are being soaked. I'd be willing to bet if the drug companies were to lower their prices a bit, insurance companies might not balk so much at giving us what we need. That said, I still think that insurance companies should have to adhere to doctor's prescriptions and not try to second guess them. One of my biggest fears is somehow losing my insurance (fortunately it is not linked to employment) because I would never be able to afford all my meds and still keep my home.
