[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4331015, member: 27991"] LoL And you believe that little vial cost $600? Or that little blue pill is $40? True, no business survives without profit, but 20%? 50%, 1000%, 10k%? Some things you have a choice. I don't eat McShit. We rarely eat out. We grow our own, we eat fresh, we cook at home. We take meds that we would probably not here without. They aren't cures, but maintain. Wif's 10mg pill cost pennies. We pay $2, plus whatever insurance covers, less deductible and monthly premiums. Big gov isn't an answer and is part of problem. Pharm, insurance, hospitals, Dr's are all tied together, TV ads exacerbate the problem. My HBP took 6 Dr's and 9 different prescriptions to finally figure out what would control, without side effects. The 1st Dr prescribed the newest, latest, greatest, most expensive test being promoted by big pharm. Took it for 2 weeks, told Dr to change it. Refused to change. Change Dr. Repeat. Last Dr actually listened. Gave samples for a week. Talked. Changed pills 💊. Repeat. Got down to oldest, cheapest drugs on the market. Hit the mark. Been on same pill 💊, with same Dr for 18 years. Mom was put on blood thinner. Cheap, long used drug. Was on it for several years. Dr changed prescription, cost went up. Had side effects. Dr put her on newest, very expensive, insurance wouldn't cover. She complained, Dr done nothing. I talked to Dr, went back to 1st prescription. Dr said that didn't work. ??? Changed Dr. You CAN make a choice. [/QUOTE]
