Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted March 15, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 15, 2019 That is fucked up and for those bitching about Obamacare at least it allows diabetics to buy insurance. The rest is just more greed with people's lives hanging in the balance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoughnut Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The govt. can bail out the greedy Wall Street scum but struggles miserably when it comes to making life saving medicine affordable.......disgusting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hey the military needs another $70 billion to go steal oil for US oil companies. Can't be bothered with Americans dying because they can't afford medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what happened to capitalism? Gov staying out of corporate business? Drug companies needing this money so they can afford to make new product?

Isn't the problem you are paying far too much for insulin compared to other countries. Most Canadians do not have scripts covered by insurance.

That is a major problem but diabetics were also denied insurance because of a pre existing condition buy yeah because of some complicated and arcane pricing structure Americans are getting bent over dry.

I think it would be the same here with pre existing conditions and private insurance. Would need to go to group insurance. Scripts aren't part of our universal healthcare. You guys are getting hosed on the costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 15, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 15, 2019 Now dig into it a little bit and do some research and you will see the article is seriously flawed. MY wife is diabetic. With ins she pays $32 a month. When she was between jobs and didn't have ins she qualified for pharma assistance and paid $52 a month.

I can buy a vial of N Insulin at Walmart for my dog and it's 26 dollars but as the article stated it's not the best stuff. I don't know all the ins and outs but there must be a reason groups are traveling to Mexico to stock up on affordable insulin that works.
