| 1625222105540206604 | Hey @BernieSanders , @costplusdrugs is making progress. We have https://t.co/shaOaJLxzg for $60 and https://t.co/BhwCxIIQcA for $29.22, https://t.co/Z3BmHsvecN for $6 and working on the others. So prices can be lower here in the USA. You just have to know where to look ! https://t.co/ht3Rb8pzi4 | 281 |
| 1625692852058755072 | I just placed my 1st order with @costplusdrugs & it was quick/simple & after my insurance wouldn’t cover a routine prescription med, these folks did at 1/2 the cost of when my insurance provider did. How does this all make sense? Thank you @cuban we may all need you to help us 👏 | 54 |

Even my neurologist couldn’t believe it- Was already a fan, now even a bigger supporter and will be spreading the word | 24 |
| 1623510466776506369 | @costplusdrugs My medicine is $8.40 ($13.40 with shipping) for a 90 day supply with no insurance. @cvspharmacy it is $45 for a 90 supply with my health insurance. | 19 |

| 1626929650478858244 | Billion $ PBM CVS Caremark denied a cheap generic antibiotic which is listed as $4.50 on @costplusdrugs. Why? Steering patients to more expensive formulary drugs they get a kickbacks on. Most patients assume using insurance they paid for is the way to go & never ask cash price. https://t.co/8BnOEzDCi1 | 11 |
| 1623849300571705344 | @drmonicaxmas use @costplusdrugs for #MHT! Easy to order- I can do it in Epic! Great prices! @MsMedicine https://t.co/VYBG9L22a7 | 10 |
| 1625707854501142530 | @WFKARS @skohayes @cvspharmacy If it's a generic, check @costplusdrugs. They don't deal with insurance. They buy directly from the manufacturer and cut out all the middlemen (and their mark ups) and ship to the patient directly. Mark Cuban is out here doing the right work that insurance companies won't. | 9 |
