Health Costs Blow!

So for the past few years I've been on Lexapro which is the BOMB when it comes to making the winter and the cold a little less dreary for me. It had very few side effects and it worked without making me too crazy or frantic.
When my company had decent health insurance, I'd pay the $20 copay for a month-long RX. Unfortunately, with the cost of health insurance rising, SBT switched to a High Deductible Insurance Plan where I basically pay everything out of pocket until I hit $1500 for the year - only after I spend that money will copays come into effect. (Thankfully the idiots that came up with this concept managed to keep annual exams and girl/OBGYN appointments at the $20-$30 price)
So anyway, the cost of Lexapro jumped to more than $70 a month!!!! I've hit the point where my health savings account is draining out faster than I can add to it and I need to switch to a cheaper drug - Hopefully, it will work just as well for me. But what if it doesn't?!!!!!!
The patent on Lexapro was renewed so generics won't be out until 2012 (greedy pill companies!) I'm pretty confident that I wouldn't have been put in this predicament if my employer wasn't getting completely raped by the cost of providing his employees with a decent health plan and we could have stuck with our standard HMO plan.
I makes me sick to know that our health care is so f_ed in this country that people are forced to make such decisions regarding their well-being... I mean, this pill is just something that makes me a little more comfortable in everyday life, but there are people out there that can't afford heart medication... insulin... other vital medicines... Something has got to give!
