Holy shit, insulin is ~$98 on average over there!?
That is literally the most expensive place to buy insulin on this planet.
Most countries have insulin available for ~1/5th that price or less, with many selling it for less than 1/10th of the US price.
I knew it was bad over there but that’s fucking atrocious.
At least you’re more free over there than anywhere else though, right?
Right?
It's absurdly actually come down significantly in the US since 2021.
That $98 is a major improvement.
Probably not staying at that price for much longer.
Yeah. It's literally against the law for Medicaid or Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. They have the largest insurance pools, and therefore an incredible amount of leverage, but nope. Gotta pay those insurance companies!
There shipping be a bathroom line in front of Joe Lieberman’s grave.
Gun and bullet is cheap i heard, the equipment of freedom is affordable.
Freedumb pretty much. It is a great study how to keep people divided while the wealthy extract all the money. Greed begets greed, look at the richest man on earth. It is never enough.
Now the plan is to make everyone else poor. Taxes go up for the poor down for the rich while inflation gobbles up any increase in salary. Union bad. Privatise good. This message is several decades old now.
Yeah I mean where else can you fuck your employees this hard and purchase a job gutting the government
