Retiree Medical Rx Screw Job

















I retired years ago.... I do not have ed however, friendly md gave Rx years ago just in case... Today, I have a stockpile over 500 doses ( 256 100mg tablets )!!!
Moral of story, take advantage of current benefits....Pfizer will continue to water down future benefits.
 




The reason for drugs like Lipitor, Viagra, Celebrex, etc. no longer being covered is that technically they will no longer be Pfizer drugs. With the Mylan and Pfizer Upjohn merger forming a new company, Viatris, these post LOE brands will no longer be under the Pfizer umbrella.

Now if you need some Eucrisa you are in luck;)

If the drug was developed and funded by Pfizer . . . . . then it's a freak'in PFE drug! Plain and simple. Give it away or sell it away to someone else, it's still a PFE drug! Just another way for Big Pharma, and in this case PFE, to screw its employees and the public at large!

Yes. But be sure that they don't expire or your boners will also be watered down!
 












Looks like PFE wants to get rid of the Retiree health coverage options in order to improve their bottom line at the expense of its long standing employees! Each year the monthly premiums go UP, UP and UP. What other Medicare Advantage Plan charges upwards of $500 - $600 per MONTH for coverage? What is so great about PFE's plan that they charge this much?? Crazy. Even crazier now that the Upjohn drugs have been removed from the PFE 0 Copay list! Never knew that Viagra was an Upjohn drug?????? Or did PFE just put it on the Upjohn list to screw its employees?
 




All the documents, including on Net Benefits, directors retirees to a "tool" to check drug costs now that the Upjohn meds are no longer free. However, apparently no one actually tried to walk through this process. It's a .pdf! No link, no directions as to where to go to look at what the cost would be specifically to a Pfizer retiree. The benefits people at Pfizer have never been very good at actually working through anything -- they are only good at creating document after document after document to appease the lawyers. Perhaps when one becomes a retiree they will realize they need some focus groups to use the documents prior to release. Pfizer+ is a joke -- generalities. So they expect us to keep rolling over our benefits from year to year without really looking at comparisons. The private market has zero copays for MAPs, with varying options for Rx. Infuriating!
