    About three in ten adults report not taking their medicines as prescribed at some point in the past year because of the cost. This includes about one in five who say they have not filled a prescription (21%) or took an over-the counter drug instead (21%), and 12% who say they have cut pills in half or skipped a dose because of the cost.

      I wouldn't be able to afford my meds if my Dr required me to have routine visits before putting refills in. I can afford either the co-pays for visits, or meds. Not both.
