At the suggestion of Dr. Chris van der Linden, I submitted prices of meds. that I paid recently (Mon. 22 May 2000). The question was raised whether people pay these prices out of pocket, or otherwise. My response to that is that I indeed pay these prices myself. It amounts to $190 per month. I might add that it makes very little difference if I pay those prices myself, or whether I pay them in the form of insurance premiums. Will Kuipers, Dallas, Texas, 71 / 79 <[log in to unmask]>
