Real example, Rescue Inhaler, Combivent product name, Use: for moderate to severe Lung diseases, stops lung spasms (rescue inhaler), Part D provider, no need for names because when cross referencing prices all are pretty equivalent. Companies charge total $375. @ (co-pay $60. $315 charged to government) through part D provider. After looking around I found that 2 different federal buying groups exist, however not allowed to be processed through part-D, Low/No cost pharmacies, used primarily by medicate recipients and the TRI-Care pharmacy system, one of the largest systems in the world aka The VA system. That same Combivent Inhaler I receive 3 or a 90 day supply for $5.15 or $1.72 each. that is a difference of $373.28 each, or $4,479.36 per year, roughly 225,000 people have same disease a
