Like you, I found the plan that was being pushed at me via my retirement benefit cost more than the meds!

My understanding is that I can enroll in a different drug plan each year if I need better coverage for more meds that I hope I never have to take.

The whole thing is a racket being eaten alive by greedy corporations.
