Drug providers/insurers usually get significant rebates from drug companies after the fact so the meaningfulness of a quoted price is tough to decipher.

When I was on Gleevec back in 04' it use to cost about $200 a pill. Now I am taking Sprycel and it cost $360 a pill. With out insurance. The prices are astronomical. I can not afford any bit of it therefor I am currently enrolled in the medically needy program threw the state. IMO they shouldn't cost more then blood pressure medicine or diabetes.

Have you noticed there are a lot of changes going on in the insurance world now?  Time to check put other plans.
