Neither is available in a generic and my insurance pays about $10 on each. I pay $100/month for them. I'd hate to see what would happen if I were NOT a healthy person.

As a complete aside, I would very much like to see a comparison of how much of my federal tax money is going to the new health care platform as compared to how much of my state tax money currently goes to hospitals to care for those without insurance.
