Lyrics:

I am a prescription medication.

And as you might know, I’m

Expensive in this nation. 

 

Getting me can be confusing 

And often quite scary 

Since when it comes to meds 

The prices can vary.

 

Luckily, there’s some tricks you can try 

When you’re in this situation

And the price is high.

 

(So when it’s time to go to the pharmacy

Remember these strategies)

 

Option 1: 

When your coverage is low 

Outside of insurance

There are some places you can go

 

Like a site called Good RX

With deals at different pharmacies 

You just gotta check.

 

Or — if you wanna go deeper

Check a site called Cost Plus

They might sell drugs for cheaper

 

Assistance programs 

Are another thing to try 

Search on NeedyMeds 

And see if you qualify.

 

Option 2 is called a copay card

And your pharmacist can look it up

To make things less hard 

 

If you want to use insurance 

One more thing you can do 

Ask you doc about options 

That are covered for you.

 

There might be a pill

That works just as well 

So you can go through insurance

Without going through hell.

 

We’ll share more options

In our newsletter 

Because when it comes to drug prices

We all deserve better.

 

Yes, these are ways you can get me

Your prescription medication

I’d tell you why I’m pricey but

Too much explanation.

 

But next time you go to the pharmacy counter

I hope after this

It’s less of a downer.
