Amazement....
Ok,
My Grady Card expired on my birthday(the 9th). I hadn't realized this until I was about to go get my refills for my seizure meds. I figured no bigs, I'll just get it renewed and all will be well. Then I come to find out that I need 2 fresh check stubs from work, which I wont have for another coupe weeks. I figured I have 3 refills on my perscription so lets see what full price is at Kroger, I can do that for one month before i get back on the Grady plan.
WRONG!
For one month of the meds, since I'm uninsured,it would cost me $880.39. I'm not sure which is more ridiculous, the cost of the meds, or the fact that I can get the same anti-convulsive effect from smoking pot(I'm sadly dry, lol), and it's actually much cheaper.
I have to wonder what makes these meds so damn expensive. Is the active ingredient a special kind of fungus that only grows at sunrise on the anus of Babylonian gods? Is it maybe a worldspanning conspiracy designed to keep anyone unable to keep up financially with insurance costs just die? What is it that makes meds so outrageously expensive?
I also have to wonder what the stigma against medical MJ is, I know it works, I know it helps me and I know it's incredibly cheap compared to big Pharms solution to my problem.
