I only pay $5 for my 300 XL
Tell me you're not American without saying you're not AmericanTell me I'm wrong without telling me I was wrong.
I'm American and I have shitty insurance lol
I get it from my work though so I'm probably knocking like ~$5 off the price though. I take multiple meds and pay $15 altogether.
Wow. I thought Americans were fucked six ways from Sunday regardless.
I have a script for Vyvanse which is $6 per month in Australia. In USA it can be as much as $400.
Your medical system is so busted.. I'm sorry for how your system works.. I hope it changes one day.
Well, as America is designed, if it's great if you're not poor lol. Better insurance, which you get if you're not poor, means more price reduction on meds. But yeah, I looked up Vyvanse through goodrx, which is our generic drug insurance discounts if you have no insurance, and it's like just under $400. I guess it's hit or miss, and also really depends on if there's generics available. The site said there's generic Vyvanse supposedly coming, and when it does it should massively drop the price.
Also despite what you hear online, we do kinda have socialized healthcare, if you can really call that. We have medicaid (or medicare if you're 65+ so capitalist boomers get their own OP shit). Which medicaid is better then a ton of good insurances tbh. But you also don't qualify if you make too much money. Of course in typical boomer fashion though, the actual good socialized health insurance called medicaid will be drained when other generations actually will need it. Which these are the same people saying socialism bad.
That's so unnecessarily convoluted. If medicaid (which I assumed is tax funded) is available to low/no income citizens, then it doesn't make sense to cut someone off if they are contributing to the system which supported them to get to where they were.
It would make more sense just to raise taxes just enough to be a net profit than if they were to apply for a private insurer. But I suppose that would never happen since the private insurers have their hands in politicians pockets, and moron citizens would complain about higher tax rates, even though it would benefit them financially.
The whole insurance industry thrives on being confusing and convoluted. It makes them more money lol.
The borked part is that it isn't offered to no-income folks. I've been out of a job for a few months, and I don't qualify for it.
Only low-income?
