Drugs are 10% of our HC costs. Not saying it doesn't need addressing (everything does) but its not as impactful as one would think. Just because things work in other countries doesn't mean they would be acceptable here.

No one will because of the money the political donations that both sides get from the healthcare industry. I just got a script for a spray foam to treat a rash, $808.00 for 100 grams., my co-pay was $100.00. i had to get some welding slag drilled off my iris about 20 years ago. i remember seeing an itemized list of supplies. two bottles purified for $15. i thought that was steep. three weeks ago i had my eye flushed in ER. one bottle of purified water was $185.

Weld burn in the eyes is one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever been through. Feels like a hot piece of sand in the eye. Can't imagine what that must have felt like.

Can't imagine what that must have felt like. the worst part was having the doctor drill it out of my eye. he used a handheld device that sounded like a dremel tool. he numbed the eyeball up with some drops so it didn't hurt. i just felt so fucking vulnerable to the procedure. i don't like being in that kind of position. he called it a piece of rust. the thing attached itself firmly to the eyeball like super glue.
