A background with pills with text that says "A 90-day supply of my life-saving medication was $180 in 2025. When I requested a refill in January 2026, the cost jumped to $1300. I can't afford to pay this. There are no generic alternatives to the drug, so my doctor and I came up with a concoction to replace it. Is this where we are now? Having to mix medications ourselves?" - Jane O.
