Wow, $1000 for one pill

[Fritz The Cat]

Oh, but in Egypt, it only costs $10. No wonder healthcare id bankrupting this country.

Natural News has an agenda and products to sell.  Might want to carefully examine the "news" they publish.

I understand R & D costs, but you'd think these profiteers would be as worried about looming single payer health ins and nationalization of pharmaceuticals as we are.

I think if I needed a $1000 pill to stay alive, and I discovered it cost a few bucks to make, I'd be delivering a few 170gr bthp pills myself..... free of charge..... before I checked out.

And before anyone touts this as an excuse to turn all heath care into a govt run entity, lets be clear, however lousy the private system is run, a G system would be far worse..... as we see everyday.

I wonder about the quality of that pill outside the USA [except maybe Canada].  What does that pill cost in Canada ?

Hell, I just paid $700 for pills to get rid of toenail rot and they didn't even work AND they are from the U.S., not Canada or Mexico. Big pharma gotta do mo betta.

Heres one for you, am on a generic for lovenox, an every 12 hour injection blood thinner to treat blood clots in the lungs.  Without pharmacy insurance is $6000.00 a month.  Tricare for life initially refused to pay due to price, but I fought it and won, am getting it for $5.00 a month.  Something a little odiferous here.

Yeah the lovenox is expensive but why? Coumadin has been used for Many many years and it does the same thing. And only costs about 5 a month to start with.

A good friend (and VRCC member) who's wife was recently diagnosed with Hep-C (the result of a blood x-fusion many years ago) was prescribed a new experimental drug that she has to take for 3-months (and 3-months only). He showed me the receipt for $28,000 for one months supply.... I crap you not. Fortunately, his insurance paid for most all of it
