How do you deal with wild drug prices?

 

Have you experienced sticker shock, looking at the out-of-pocket price of a medicine your doctor has prescribed?

If so, we want to know what happened next. What you did. And what you learned.

We’re planning a new series about how much we pay for our medicine — and what we can maybe do about it — and we want to hear your stories.

What have you done — or tried to do — to get the medicines you need at prices you can afford? And what did you learn that might be useful for other people to know? 

Use the form below to tell us all about it —we’ll keep your identity confidential, unless you give us permission to share it — and please send this page to anyone else you think might want to share their story.

And if you have any questions check out our FAQ here — which also includes tips we’ve already gathered for getting meds for less. And feel free to write us. 

... In case we want to reach out about being on the show.
You can be as specific or general as you want.

Tell us your story

* What was the medication, and what was it for?
* What would be the consequences if you couldn’t get it?
* How much did it look like you might have to pay (and how did that amount compare to things like… your income)?
* What did you do? How did it go? (We know: This can be a *long* story).
* How are things going now? What did you learn from the whole experience?

Answers can be as long or short as you want.
