I know if it is good for goose and gander why would you pick the choice that isn't as good? Should have been good for gander and goose or something.

Manback has never had UPS insurance so he has no clue how much better our insurance was before we were switched over.
Nothing has changed there, a schedule 2 narcotic, or opiate based you can only get a 90 day at a time, and 30 day at a time at first. After you take your pee test so long and are clean they will give you 90. It cannot be called in, you have to personally present the script, and cvs recently sent a letter saying any drug refill for 90 days will be free, vs the way it used to be 3 xs then you pay 50 %

You sound like a real TEAMster, brother.
As long as you get yours, right?

I filled two scripts today via medco on my local's plan (doesn't the teamcare thing use a similar mail order with them?) and 90 day supply for both cost a total of $15. After reading this thread I just checked what they retail for and I would have paid around $840+tax out of pocket without insurance.

Ah, the old pot calling the kettle black now...
And you feel your insurance is better than mine...

Did you choose to stop making sense or, did you run out of talking points?

So please tell me then, what makes your insurance so superior to mine, as this is what you are inferring, correct?

My insurance being superior to to yours is, a notion you've made up entirely on your own.
You could search every post I've ever made and not find a quote of mine that supports your claim.
You've had and, still feel as if, you deserve more coverage than me.

Per your line, you said "You've had and", by that choice of words, you agree that the UPS insurance that some of us had was superior to yours that you had at that time. Now I agree with you that we both should have the same insurance as we both work for the same company, but it seems to me that you are the bitter one in this situation, not me, because as you stated, I had better insurance than you.
As I previously spoke of, I have accepted what has happened and have moved on, knowing I cannot undo what has been done. No, I didn't agree with most of the changes made in this current contract including the insurance aspect, but I have accepted Teamcare as my insurance and am using it as you probably are. So no, I don't feel as though I deserve better than you, as we are both brothers in the TEAMsters.

If they are part of the Group or list.
My Son was in an accident out of town, No idea where to fill them, the doctor sent the scripts to Walmart. He needed them ASAP, cost $63 Pain pills and antibiotics, some of the cheapest drugs out there!
For the OP, you have to get a 90 day script and go to a CVS or affiliate store OR Mail order them!

Right and I feel in our building it did change some Vote No's to Yes because of the change in the Scripts after it was shot down the first time.
MOST people like myself who complain are PART TIME, and do Not Make the Wage or Hours the drivers make to afford the difference.
I have had more bills in the last year then I have ever had in 20 years at UPS....

$63? I think you got ripped off by Wal-Mart. I have filled one time pain med and antibiotics at the local supermarket pharmacy and they only cost $5 a piece.

Wal-mart is not in their network because of their antiunion stance.

Yes, I had better insurance than you. Is that right? No. Go back and read my posts. I fought hard to try and convince people like you to fight for better insurance.
Why did you want to bring me down to your level instead of fighting to bring yourself up to my level?
And by the way, your Teamcare plan got improved because of us "fighters."

Be thankful for what insurance you have (I'm not saying its better or worse than what you had---I don't know). I do good getting my drugs through the VA but my wife has a real problem with her coverage. She was prescribed Ristasis for her dry eye condition. Went to pick it up and was told its not covered by her plan- that will be $1,265.00--thank you. WTF. After some wrangling around and a few calls we got it for $450.00. We have a 4 year lap in between Teamster coverage and when the wife can get on Medicare and it is a real wake-up call from when we were used to the great insurance we had. When we had to go insurance shopping the first 2 places flat turned us down because of one prescription the wife had taken a few years ago for 30 days. We finally got "Obama insurance" that is almost useless and cost us $509 bucks a month.
