Just patented in America and not in Europe.

Just a good example of how regulation can help

Cost between presecription in us vs otc is also different

Thats why I asked

Prescription I am pretty sure I can get what you got in the UK and pay nothing

With my ins

Or, you could just regulate the drug companies and now have to worry about meme insurance

Then why have medicare for all if just regulating drug companies will make it affordable

My ins costs me 5k per year in premiums, with it I pay next to nothing

Why would anyone use medicare as anything other than a worse case scenario cushion if it costs more, covers less, and puts me on a waitlist?

Also joker if you ever come back with that citation for all the non name brand alternatives killing people, it better not be some homeopathy crystal bs.

5k per year wow that's a lot

Medicare for all is cheaper because of collective bargaining, like currently

But regulation will ALSO decrease the costs.

It's also terrible

Shit jobs for shit money

Also what medicare for all are u talking about because i swear everyone says they have a medicare for all plan but they are all different

In the dems at least

Yes.

🙂

5k is not alot

Considering I make 60k

8.3% of ur income

Well the way pricing works is that the pharma are given domestic monopoly. That's why you hear about people buying in Mexico. It's the same drug from the same manufacturer just sold cheaper abroad.

The best answer is not regulation. Simply make importing legal. Without domestic monopoly they can't gouge. It *does* mean they would have to raise the price they sell to the lesser nations of the earth to cover R&D but I'm fine with that....

I lose more in taxes than I do in ins premiums

Oh wow

Idk seems a lot to me
Im still pretty young so

I can tell you what happens when medicare is shit

Im only 22 my dude

Im not an old fart yet xD

Im literally 17

People go to private practices and/or foreign nations and get their proper healthcare there, e.g. dental work

Those numbers don't show up on the "medicare for all" shit

@Tiberius

Look into concierge. It's pretty cheap then you just need major medical.

Single payer numbers are mostly camouflaging the shit reality

I have blue cross blue shield I am largely good my man

Part of why it is higher is because I am obese

Costs me an extra 550$ a year to be overweight

But im okay with that because it costs ME 550$ to be overweight not everyone else.

implying if someone's poor enough to need medicare they can afford to just up and go to another fucking country for any fucking reason, let alone medical care

Concierge is kinda awesome. You pay a flat monthly for a group of doctors. They have specialist, do house calls, etc. Not too pricey either because no middle man.
