Do you see what I see?
The full retail price of 270 GENERIC pills is $6525.89.
It isnt just RIDICULOUS but it is a GODDAMNED CRIME.
For a 90 day supply my Blue Cross co-pay is only $30.
Thank Obama that I have insurance that includes prescription coverage.
Without it who could afford $2000+ per month just for drugs?
NO FUCKING BODY, THATS WHO.
So medicine I have to take 3 times a day which LITERALLY keeps me alive and without it I know for a fact I would be dead is absolutely out of the question without insurance.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE WITH A SIMILAR NEED FOR THIS AND OTHER OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE DRUGS ARE THERE WHO DONT HAVE INSURANCE?
Well I can tell ya one thing, the longer they go without insurance the less of them there are because they wont keep living.
WHAT A FUCKING FUCKED UP SYSTEM THAT IS.
and to top it off, we have DONNY DUMBFUCK and living walking corpse SENATOR TURTLE FUCKFACE ramming though Judge Amy Covid Handmaiden to strip away the ACA.
AND GUESS WHO HAS A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION?
Me and you and just about fucking EVERYONE.
Fuck big pharma.
Fuck the republicans.
Fuck Donald Fucking trump.
Fuck this bullshit country.

(3,775 posts)A person without insurance can just go to a discount site like GoodRx, print out the coupon, and save 99% off the "retail price." A 90-day supply of the drug you mentioned costs less than your co-pay.
