Minnesotans! I'm a patient rep on a body that advises the Prescription Drug Affordability Board. We're trying to define "affordable" and my hunch is that you have stories of what is not. And of why getting the rx you need is about so much more than $. Tell me your stories so I can amplify! DMs open

P.S., photo for street cred. Cuz y'all, that was one month of one drug (I'm on a fistful) to treat the symptoms of a disease that I didn't have any behavioral risk for, but now that it showed up, I'll need to treat for the rest of my life.
My doctor and I were discussing diabetes medications as alternatives to metformin. She sent a prescription to Walgreens for one of the "more affordable" options that came in at something like $3,000+ for a 90-day supply. Readers: That is not affordable.
Good thing untreated diabetes won't, you know, quickly kill you 🧐
I stuck with the metformin.
