Then we changed our health insurance providers, a small matter that had slipped my mind that day as I drove through to pick up refills.

Once I retrieved my jaw up from the steering wheel, I asked her why the price was so high. She explained it might be a combination of my previous coverage, pharmaceuticals and the high cost of meds. I paid the new amount and could not get home fast enough to search for a cheaper place to get these meds filled in the future.
