how GoodRX and similar cards work

459 viewsOther

Can someone explain how these free cards work to give a better price than the paid-for policy?e prescription drug plan my company offers. My doctor suggested I use the GoodRX card and the price was about one-eighth (!!) of the first quote.

Can someone explain how these free cards work to give a better price than the paid for policy?

NB: the drug plan through my company is actually highly rated, so it’s not a scam.

TLDR regular insurance is a scam to maximize profit but we still need to make money off poor people so this is the solution. Similar to how we sell goods in 3rd world countries at steep discounts because they wouldn’t sell otherwise (e.g. video games priced in local currencies for pennies on the dollar of US/EU prices).
