Even without any insurance/coverage that specific medication (Adavair Diskus) is like $100 CDN ($70 USD) for 60 days where I live in Canada, and the generic is $20 cheaper than that.
And mi d you, astma inhalers aren't anything special or a new discovery that requires billions of investment. This is stuff that was figured out decades ago and it's simply abused out of greed
The CEOs of these companies belong behind bars for murder
Saw this on NBC Nightly News last night, they framed pharmacy benefit managers as people who were there to reduce costs. Absolutely batshit insane thing to say. Like did a pharmacy benefit manager pay you to say that?

It was too expensive to live, what a time to be alive.

That's totally insane. That young man shouldn't have died, that's heartbreaking.

Not just that he shouldn't have died, but I can't imagine how painful and fearful it would be to basically drown in air.
In Luigi I trust.

I don't have asthma, but can find what's normal in Australia. On a pharmacy website
One of those inhalers is $9 AUD, or about $6 USD

I guess one way to "make America healthy again" is to kill off all the sick people.

Nazi-style eugenics is the crux of their entire platform.

Yes. Exactly. Keep repeating this. We need everyone to be aware of the stakes.
