And the prescription that cost me a $1.80 last year, now cost 14 bucks this year.I'm just wondering , is it like that for everybody
I got Medicare, part a and b, and thought I had a plan for prescription coverage.Maybe I have to renew it

1. you may need to get a part D plan

many are low cost or free, but they don't cover much until the end of the year or if you end up with expensive scripts

2. Prescription drugs is covered with Medicare Part D. It will automatically renew, but you can

shop for a new Part D plan every year during open enrollment. I had a Part D plan that was really low cost for a couple years and then jumped up by a factor of ten. I suspect they lure you in with low prices and then hope you won’t shop around as they boost the costs.

This last December I discovered you can go to the Medicare website which has a search function to compare plans in your area. It will show you the cost of your prescriptions under each plan, as well as the premium. But you’ll have to wait till the end of the year now.

3. If you have secondary coverage

you might get in touch with someone there. One of my friends got Medicare last year, and she got a lot a help from her dr. office and the place she retired from. At least they helped her get in touch with people who could get her through the process.

People who aren't on Medicare are getting hit with price raises. I don't know what people are going to do.

4. All But One Of Our Maintenance Meds Went Down

For instance, my BP med went from $8 per month co-pay to $2 each 90 days.
We have, as others have mentioned, a Part D plane

5. No worries. Trump will reduce the price 1500%.
