Submission Text
I spend $58 per month for Atopica for my dog. I have to buy this from my Vet and the drug is made by Novartis. It is extremely costly and I would love a way to improve market competition and bring down the costs of these drugs for dogs. Why can't the insurance companies cover pets as well? They are part of the family.
