Advair: An asthma patient considers the cost

Advair is a combination steroid and long-acting beta-agonist for asthma control. It is non-generic and expensive. Witness how this asthma patient weighs the costs and benefits:

Now, here is the question… would I rather pay $15/mo and have constant asthma attacks but be able to “control” them with a rescue inhalor…

Or pay $104/mo plus the cost of a new albuterol inhalor every month or two.. to live ALMOST symptom free?
