A vent on prescription prices: Does anyone else choose to pay more for not-basic RXs, and still feel disgusted?

Wondering if anyone else with employer health insurance chooses to spend… 10x for their prescriptions, because they find that non-default products work better for lower A1C and Time in Range?

I choose to use an Omnipod Dash, Apidra insulin, and Dexcom CGM and Loop. I’ve tried other systems. I’ve tried other insulins that irritate my skin or put me in the ER for high BGs. This equipment keeps my numbers under the best control.

This means every three months I pay $550. Annually that is $2200. Yes, i use an FSA. I am tired and disgusted that any life/death medications are this expensive.
