From drugs.com....the GL price is not that cheap.

The cost for Lovaza oral capsule ethyl esters 1000 mg is around $322 for a supply of 120 capsules, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Prices are for cash paying customers only and are not valid with insurance plans. A generic version of Lovaza is available, see omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids prices.

This from the ICER report, I don’t see a real cost advantage for GL.

Icosapent ethyl's wholesale acquisition cost of $303.65 per month and estimated net price of $1,625 per year after discounts yielded a cost of $18,000 per QALY gained.

They are supreme at what you say....I dealt with UHC when I was a co owner of a pretty large Emergency Med group. They bullied us almost to the point of being criminal. Almost. Supreme geniuses. What does not make sense is they really good at making money and it seems V should save em money in the medium term. Lots of money. Reducing this and that. Stroke. CABG. Stenting....yet they seem not excited about it. Granted...I’m of the belief that there is no such thing as per person lifetime avg cost savings in health care. What does make em money is having healthy payors paying premiums while working and being...well.... healthy. Once the health cycle starts....Then the drain starts. So the longer ya pay in the better for em. V thus makes sense. Unless ya pay in...boom have heart attack and then go off their plan so that they get all the premium and then just one big bill but nothing further. This is how they think. I’m surprised they don’t give free cigarettes out...work work work....pay pay pay...boom...lung cancer and dead in 8 months. Thanks for your premiums sucker! I know I’m generalizing. Please no replies as such. I don’t mean the above as an absolute. Just an observation of what I’ve seen.
