Something strange happened between the time Linda Griffith signed up for a new Medicare prescription drug plan during last fall’s enrollment period and when she tried to fill her first prescription in January.

She picked a Humana drug plan for its low prices, with help from her longtime insurance agent and the Medicare Plan Finder, an online pricing tool for comparing a dizzying array of options. But instead of the $70.09 she expected to pay for her dextroamphetamine, used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, her pharmacist told her she owed $275.90.

Absolutely. Almost every medication I price on my Part D drug plan is 1/3 the price if I pay cash with a Goodrx coupon and don’t charge it to the insurance.

But that begs the question, “What is my health insurance CEO doing for me?”

Read a good joke last week, "Every time a Washington whore services a Congressman, she put a health care lobbyist out of a job.

Hey - There’s plenty of women in Congress now, too. I wonder who is servicing them?
