[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all- the medication is Pentasa and I take the maximum dosage for Crohn's---I looked into India but it seemed like Canada is more regulated--more likely to get the actual medication?
I looked on Good RX and it wasn't any cheaper.  It looks like I would need to switch health insurance plans (switch to Kaiser) in order to get a different prescription plan...and I have reservations about switching to Kaiser as I am otherwise very happy with my insurance plan and the choice of doctors that I get to see .[/quote]

I get my insurance for very cheap on the ACA and I'm at Kaiser, with a chronic condition and daily meds. 
Kaiser has a bad reputation on DCUM because their mission  is to keep costs low and therefore they regulate their medical care more than the average medical practice. But the doctors are good, and it's nice to have everything in the same building. I go with my kids, they have their well visits, we all do bloodwork, we go get glasses, whatever we need, apart from a few specialist appointments that are in a Kaiser location further away. With Covid, they've greatly expanded their telehealth offers, which is a godsend for me as my specialist doesn't actually need to see me most of the time, just talk to me and order bloodwork.

If there is a significant price difference, I encourage you to switch to Kaiser. [/quote]
