    Get on a bus to evil Canada.

    this drug is $55 for 30 day supply at Costco Canada.

    sorry, $55CDN, so under 40 Eagle Feathers.

    We have busloads of old ladies from The Greatest Country on Earth™ stocking up every day.

      O so now you want me to get a passport? How can I spend close to 300 on that when I spend 11k a month on prescription meds and healthcare. Nevermind the rest of lifes expenses here at the top of the world.

      Bus to fucking Canada… lets keep our sarcasm to a minimum

    Psh, that’s nothing. I’ve got an injectable med I need to take every 3 months. My insurance covers it, thank fucking christ - because unadjusted, it costs over $20,000 per dose. No, I’m not kidding, or exaggerating. Yes, I was absolutely disgusted when I learned that.

    Well don’t worry, every other aspect of our lives is nickel and dimed (or hundred dollared and thousand dollared if you wanna be honest about it) too!

    Literally every single thing. And it gets worse every single year! Then they wanna talk about “liberating” other countries its so fucking ridiculous.

    Even when you have an affordable prescription good luck getting it filled. I’ve been waiting over a week and Walgreen’s is still fucking around with it. I’ve been out the last two days and starting to get withdrawl symptoms. Luckily its nothing I need to survive but going unplanned cold turkey is not healthy.

      Aw fuck I am so sorry. Fucking around with supplying black box warning drugs should be illegal. Discontinuation syndrome can be really dangerous.

    We don’t. Thanks Nixon. Thanks Ehrlichman. Thanks Kaiser. And thanks Hilary too. Even Obama was helpful to the scheme.

    You have to work to get decent insurance. If you don’t work and you are Ill then you can die. 😘

    For the people that don’t understand, that’s not a statement in support of our bullshit healthcare or how tied you get to jobs in order to afford care.
