In February, we asked you, our listeners, to share the tips, tricks, and tactics you’ve learned for getting the medicine you need at prices you can manage. 

And of course some of you work in health care and have insider knowledge. Which we’re passing along in this second episode of The Prescription Drug Playbook.

We’ll hear from a listener who works to help seniors find healthcare, a pharma sales rep, an employee benefits advisor, and a battle-worn hospital caseworker – all bringing something a little surprising, and possibly even life-saving to the table. 

Of course—for all their advice, there is a BIG caveat: there is no one solution for everyone. This is a set of patches, workarounds, bandaids.

We deserve SO much better. But in the meantime, maybe some of these tips can help. 

Here’s a link to the Find a Health Center Tool that we told you about in the episode—it’s worth checking out!

And here's the full drug-price song by producer Claire Davenport and some robots
