What we need are the names of the actual executives who greenlit that. As many as are responsible.

Don't make it about the company.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Nah fuck the company too. It's a person let's execute it. Capitalism will find a better solution right?

At least Germany doesn't require a visa for us citizens

I wonder if it is feasible to book a trip to Canada or Mexico and just buy it there. I guess pharmacies accept prescriptions of 'Murican doctors there, if patients pay themselves...

Your only option in America is to lick some steel-toed boots.

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Execs typically don't wear steel-toed boots.

So, I'm being naive here, but why don't people sue when they know this is the case? Like, it's a bit of a stereotype that American's are fairly litigious, but if you know that you're being swindled, can't you take them to court?

Non-American here, trying to understand.

Are these prices after insurance? If you have insurance through work, and you've paid a premium for "good" insurance (assuming you can do that for your family), are you still paying insane amounts for medicine and hospital care?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

If it's covered under insurance then it's $5-$30 (depending on policy) for a co-pay and that's it. If it's not covered under your policy then it's eleventy bajillion dollars. The insurance will also pull stupid shit like not letting you pick up your refill early, or making you get some other medication that is similar, but not what your doctor prescribed. Of course the insurance company doesn't pay eleventy bajillion dollars, they've negotiated it down to 50¢, but that's what you'll pay if you don't have insurance.

Your upper range is way too low. I've had $75 copays before with shitty insurance.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeesh! How much were your premiums?

"IP" is completely regulated otherwise people could sell for less.
