Hey everybody,
Could you respond to this message and let us know how much your total meds cost
per month -- both your own contribution and your employer's contribution to the
bill?
I get a three-month supply of the stuff that slows my heart down for about $15,
and perscriptions needed for things like cold, flu, sinus infections, etc that
come up each year max out at around $30 per month when needed.
I understand that some medicines cost a fortune, but I'm trying to get a handle
on what kind of reasonable cap that an employer should put on covering
employees' meds costs.
So if an employer like Ben & Jerry's used to be (before getting bought out by
Unilever) wanted to do as much as possible for its employees while still being
responsible to the financial necessities of the business, they'd have to impose
some kind of cap on what they would cover each month for each employee's (and
their families') meds. Would that be something like $100 per month? $200? A
percentage of the monthly cost of the employee's health plan?

yeah, it sucked when I found out that my ADD, allergy and Asthma meds were
going to cost upwards of
$150 a month, compared to the $50 I was paying before. I started taking
OTC allergy meds to save money, until I went back on my wife's coverage
BC Carefirst sux.
i've looke briefly at the sub co.'s benefits and they look good.

I worked for a smaller company last year that had a lot of administrative
problems, due to no one taking the time to set up the bennies the way a
big
corp does.
It really makes a huge difference. I am doing the same as you, hell for
the
same company :) The company I am subbed out to right now, and that I will
hopefully be direct hired by later this year, has a great bennie program.
