Insane prices for prescription drugs...

I would like feedback on this!! I went to get my medications today and one of the medications was one dollar, a generic, the other, Lipitor, not a generic was one hundred dollars!! And that was my copay! I was told by the pharmacist that since a generic is not available yet, the company is taking advantage of that fact. I know the drug industry is a business, but they, like, the insurance and medical fields, really have the public by the coconuts.
