Fuck my life. I just found out my medicine (life saving, cannot live without medicine) has gone up in price 10x because of new insurance I got this year. Fuck me, right? In other countries, it's pennies, here it's hundreds of dollars.

i just got too much income to use the state healthcare, but the ACA subsidies has ended? so i cant really afford that anyways. and i have chronic skin conditions which means i would need refills often.

try contacting the manufacturer, maybe they have a program to help make it affordable.

I'm sure they know that. Point of the post is that they shouldn't have to.

sometimes its not much of a discount in most cases, if its something like expensive one like biologics. he might want to look into coupons, many sites have them, but EXPENSIVE name brand ones are still too expensive.
