Lovaza needs to be retired.

Zman, UHC does not care about health benefits to patients...they want to
cut their costs NOW! On the GoodRX website they have the lowest price
for generic lovaza at $25.40 whereas the lowest price for generic Vascepa
is $94.78 that is around a 65% savings. I don't think UHC offers
generic Vascepa anyway. It's all about the money they can save today...
the patient's health be damned! My theory has always been that BP have
more gravitas to place them in a better position to deal with insurance
companies. Obviously, they view Amarin as a weak, powerless company.
This explains why generic lovaza has held up so well over the years.
Then add to this the fact that many doctors and patients believe it
is all fish oil anyway.
