When the doctor prescribed an inject-able medicine that was covered by my insurance for $25, I was under the assumption that the needles would come with it..being that they are the only way to take the medicine....$65 later, guess I was wrong..... How can the drug companies get away with this? Would you buy a brand new car, and on the way off the lot the salesman says"ohhhh you have to pay extra for the steering wheel"....
How can a inject-able medicine be covered by insurance, but the needles that are needed not covered?

Insurance companies blow. There's always a catch and they try to deny EVERYTHING. Not sure I can offer you the best advice. However, a good way to get cheap syringes with needles is through a vet supply. Google lambriar vet supply. You can get a box of 100 needles for like 18 bucks. Doesn't matter if they're meant for veterinary use...same needles. Just make sure you pick the right gauge.
