I Am So Mad At My Insurance Company

I am so mad at my insurance company, United Health Care http://www.uhc.com.  I wrote about needing to change prescriptions.  Talking to my doctor's office today, they switched me to Arthrotec, http://www.rxlist.com/arthrotec-drug.htm which can be had in generic, DICLOFENAC SODIUM AND MISOPROSTOL. I checked with the insurance, and they said it went through. 

So, I picked this up tonight.  It cost more for me than the Celebrex cost me.  The diclofenac is listed on the Wal-Mart $4 list, but not the combination medication.  The misoprostol helps to protect your stomach.

I don't get it.  The insurance will have me spend more money for a generic than I would spend with a brand name medication that was working.

I hope this works.  It will be worth it if it does.
