Drug Prices Dropped! Your Copay Didn't...

Drug prices just did something they have not done since 1963. They fell. The steepest annual drop in over sixty years, down 3.1%, with prices falling in five of the last six months. The last time medication got this much cheaper, gas was about thirty cents a gallon and nobody had told you about cholesterol yet.
So did your prescription get cheaper? For most of you, not a cent.
When you use insurance, you do not pay for the drug. You pay a copay. And a copay is not a real price. It is not even related to the real cost. It is a number your insurance company made up and assigned to you. The actual cost of that medication can fall off a cliff, and your copay just sits there, unbothered, because it was never connected to reality in the first place.
So when prices dropped 3.1%, that money went somewhere. It just was not your wallet.
Now here is the part that really stings. Look at what did not drop. In the same twelve months, hospital prices went up 5.2% and physician services went up 2.4%. Medical care overall kept climbing. The one and only piece of healthcare that finally went on sale is the exact piece insured patients are least able to feel.
You know who does feel it? Our customers. Our price is cost-plus, the real cost of the drug plus a fair, transparent markup. So when the cost drops, your price drops with it.
Automatically. There is no invented copay standing in the doorway blocking your savings like a bouncer.
Prices are falling for the first time in sixty years. That is your win. You should actually get to keep it.
