But if you have medical conditions require multiple meds, you probably save overall with your generics.
Some outrageously priced drugs are specialty, with huge development costs and few recipients. Like some chemos/genetic.

My wife's Car-t could eventually have a price tag of $320+K. We think she won't need it. If she does, at this point it would be free to us. $320K is not far off her current treatment.

The epi pen wasn't developed by Mylar and was used to treat those they had helped addict to start with.

My understanding is that the price has eased.
$143 for two at CVS. Not cheap.

Not sure what you mean about addict...?

OK, so you come up with the part where Jesus said only perfect people deserve help. If you are not a Christian, it is absurd that you try to dictate what Christians should do. I have about had my fill of closet Satanists in this country who pretend to be Christian for their own purposes.

"Be watchful, be vigilant, for our adversary the Devil stalketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

It is time to raise our voices to confront the demons in our midst, who would pervert Christianity into a tool for hatred.

I explained that in my previous post. The reason the price was eased was because of the uproar over the huge increase in price.

Epi-pen is for bee sting, not addiction.

Maybe need naloxone injector?

The Bible has already been quoted on that:

2 Thessalonians 3:10

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

I don't expect to see much wage inflation because of tech and global. That's why I think there will have to be new central moneys/benefits created for the middle class.
Drug manufacturers are mining generics for increased prices and profits.

Quote:
According to a report by Elsevier, a drug product and pricing information provider, out of a research sample of 4421 drug groups, 222 drug groups increased in price by 100% or more (between Nov’13 and Nov’14). There are also some extreme cases (17 drug groups) where price increases of more than 1000% were seen. One such product is tetracycline, which is commonly prescribed for bacterial infections. During the same period (between Nov’13 and Nov’14), it’s per tablet price increased from $0.0345 to $2.3632. That is a 67-fold increase in one year! But, why are generic drug prices increasing at such high rates?

I'd bet on that. But they're for the most part cheap. Walmart cheap.

You are not big on grammar, are you? You sort of think if they had wanted to freeze out the poor, they would have said that if any can not work neither should he eat. I'll leave the house rules for a Christian commune to the residents, but you may recall that there was a death penalty for holding out assets and not donating everything.

Set up a system were people who want to take part in socialism sign up for a membership card to take part in it or something like that.
I thought that's what happens when a person moves to Canada.
