My Silver Scripts prescription has gone up 1,080% since last December! [View all]

I keep hearing that the cost of prescription drugs is going down, but the price of our Silver Scripts are skyrocketing. For example, one of my daily scripts is for 25mg atenolol. It is a tier one generic which has always been relatively inexpensive. Then, last January, the price soared by 780%. Today, I picked another 90 day supply, and the price went up another five dollars. That's a 1,080% increase in under a year! All of our scripts have gone up by similar amounts.

Do any of you DU'ers have part D plans, other than Silver Scripts, which have skyrocketed like ours? We'll be getting a measly 3.2% SS increase which will be gone before we get it. Yes, the price of insulin came down, but everything else went up. Nobody is helping us on Medicare.
