How does that work?

On a lower scale I encountered the same thing. A prescription of mine went generic so I thought the $ 280 co-pay would go down.
It didn't so I shopped around. CVS, Savon and Riteaid were all the same, give or take a buck or two.
Just for grins I asked Costco and there price for the exact same prescription was $ 16.85. That was the price not the co-pay.
In California, pharmacies are prohibited from advertising prescription drug prices, why is that?
Big pharma and their political allies are not our friends. The largest contributes to lobbyist, control life saving technologies paid for by tax deductions.
BTW: the price at Costco went up $ 2.50 right after Obysmalcare was enacted.
