... the generic of Yaz (which cost MORE on my insurance, go figure...)
I'm so glad you mentioned this. I had the same cost issue recently with my BC, where the generic I'd been taking cost more on my new insurance than did the name brand the new insurance covers. The actual cash price of the generic is about $15 per pack less than the cash price of the name brand. So I've sort of concluded that my insurance might have some kind of deal worked out with the pharmaceutical company that makes my name brand pill -- which, while I'm grateful to have insurance, is not exactly a comforting thought.
