What the government does for people

"Thank god for medication programs for low income folks like myself. I only pay 15$ a month for my Lamictal, when out of pocket it would be 300$ a month. The Trazadone, the one medication I don't need help for, is on the federally approved 4$ list. If I did not get the help from these discount programs, I'd be one insane bitch

I have to second this. When I was without health insurance. I had to order my medicine that treats a chronic pain problem (no not pain meds, but something that is therapy for the cause of the pain) so I could function and work, from Canada for $150. The cost in the States was over $450 a month for the exact same pills. By ordering from Canada, instead of buying an affordable cost in this country, I was sending money out of the country instead of helping my own economy prosper, but I had little choice. These are the choices Americans make everyday, because it is almost always cheaper to buy foreign goods.

With insurance from my work, I pay $20 a month for these pills, I can definitely promise you Kaiser doesn't pay $450 for my pills and only take in $20, there has to be some sort of racket going on.
