When #healthcosts are so intimidating that people avoid free care (thinking there’s a catch) we have lost our way.
Coronavirus vaccines are free — but 9 percent of Americans say they're not getting one because they are worried about cost. I see this a lot in my reporting: patients who don't seek care because they're become so accustomed to surprise bills that follow.

Sometimes, a brand name drug really is better than the generic alternative, but too often we pay more for our prescriptions than we should. Medicare patients paid $270 million more than necessary in 2017, a new study finds. Ask your doctor about generics. forbes.com/sites/mishagajews…

Remember to always ask your doctor if there is a generic equivalent to the brand name drug you have been prescribed. You personally can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year, and the healthcare system benefits, too. medicalxpress.com/news/2021-…

Local independent pharmacies have been incredibly effective in helping get the #COVID19 #vaccine to Americans. But to do so, they need to invest a lot of money, and aren’t often being rightfully paid for their efforts due to government red tape. 💉🤯 nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sma…

Important #savings tip from @Healthline 👉 "Copays can often be much higher than the true cost of the medication. You may be able to save significantly by skipping insurance altogether and paying out of pocket for your prescription medications instead.” healthline.com/health/resour…
