re: #504 Obdicut

Is a drug ‘available’ to you in the US if the doctor is forced by your insurance to try two other drugs first, even though those drugs have incredibly low rates of efficacy, but are cheap?

Often, however, the doctor will give you samples first of whatever they have on hand without considering that a low priced generic may be just as effective.

Then when you need a refill, they default to keeping you on the higher priced drug, because “it’s already working”
