Please help me with this question.
Read the case and answer the question below. Lili was notified that one of the medicines she had been using for a long time, A, would no longer be covered by her health insurance plan. The move was prompted by an increase in the cost of the medication. As a result, A was taken off the insurance company's formulary, causing Lili's copayment for a three-month supply of the drug to increase almost threefold. She decided to reduce her A dosage as she appealed the unexpected and costly change in coverage. Lili became so ill due to a lack of medicine that she had to visit the emergency department numerous times with dangerously high blood sugar levels. Due to her illness, Lili was unable to continue working, resulting in a decrease in his income, making it even more difficult for him to purchase medicine. Question. What impact do rising medication prices have on patients? Why does removing medication from a formulary raise consumer prices? What should Lili do in this situation?
