And don't you just LOVE the so-called logic behind that change?
My retiree insurance plan requires generic when ever possible, then something called "formulary" (sort of a cross between "name brand" and "generic"), then "name brand"
I remember when they insisted that I take 3 generics (at a higher cost to them and me) than 1 "name brand" for my heart. This change would have worked in their favor, as I was allergic the one of the suggested drugs (which, if the powers that were had read my medical file would have known and would have not lasted more than a month if I had been stupid enough to take it. The first (and only) time I took it, it cost the insurance company 35,000.00+ for a 3 day hospital stay.
