How one of the world’s top-5 pharmaceutical corporations rips off America.

I worry for the future, as I’m not sure the coupons or samples will last forever.

I have a hard time paying for my inhaler, and because I have to skip doses, it is harder for me to breathe.

I’m suddenly being asked to pay almost $500 for the Trelegy Ellipta. This is a shocking amount, and one I simply cannot afford.

This caused me extreme stress and despair, but it also helped me realize why prescription drug pricing is an urgent issue that can mean life or death for some patients.

I had no choice but to stop taking it –– I don’t have $800 a month to spend on one medication.

This cost was unsustainable to the point that my son created a GoFundme page to help offset the financial burden.

When I went to fill my prescription, I was told that it would be $300 for a pack of two inhalers. Who can afford that?
