Hi Amy,
I'm glad that you are comfortable with your desicion and with your results. The insurance companies will not lower the cost because the actual cost of the drug has doubled and in some cases, tripled. I wish that more people would google "The National Campaign to Save CFC Medical Inhalers", because their website has so much information on it that was discovered about how harmful HFA products can be and how many people can't make the switch even if they wanted to.
After reading the website's links, I've come to realize that HFA inhalers are really bad for us and that the drug companies are loving the CFC ban because it means billions more in profits for them, even though it has been proven that CFC medical inhalers do NOT harm the ozone or environment in any way, and that the US DOESN'T have ban these medical inhalers despite the Treaty.
Thanks for listening and I wish you well.
