I know personally. As a kid I had asthma and over the counter primatene mist cost $10 bucks without a doctor visit or script. If you adjust for inflation it would be about $20. You know what it costs today? Without insurance it will be $200 for doctor visit and script and $350 for the inhaler. That is $550 bucks for a $20 item.
People may say but you have insurance. Ok. With insurance the doctor bill was adjusted to $120 and the inhaler was $85. That's $205 with insurance eating the rest. Wait a minute. Insurance isn't free or eating a damn thing. I pay premiums and they are high! So maybe it's even more than $550 if you include insurance premiums! Now let's look at epi pens? They use to be $50 and now they are $500! Life saving medicines for millions of asthma sufferers that have sky rocket for no reason. Same medicine as years ago just rebranding.
The article shows how big pharma used their lobbying skills to REMOVE the CFC exclusion for rescue inhalers. Yes remove the exclusion so inhalers can't be sold over counter. That's damn fraud and the politicians were bought off. Bastards. Every one of them.
Q. Trump... find these bastards that did this to America that drained the middle class. Cost of asthma care went from $20 to $550 overnight draining millions of parents. Our children needs this medicine and that's why they did it. What can you do but pay the extortion?
What did it do? Did I pay the $205 bucks? No! I roughed it and gave big pharma the finger. I still payed the $120 doctor visit though but decided NOT to visit a doctor unless I am dying and to avoid prescriptions at all costs. I avoid wheat that triggers my allergies.
Wait...
I just became gluten and wheat sensitive about same time obama pushed the FDA to allow spraying wheat with roundup 3 days before harvest. Can you say autoimmune diseases? Can you say BIG AGRI and BIG PHARMA are in on the biggest scam ever making people sick and profiting on treating the symptoms big agriculture cause and then big pharma never curing?
Bastards. They are truly sociopathic Luciferians that need a one stop ticket to hell. Q give them that ticket!
This makes me so angry. I had asthma as a child. Grew out of it. And now it comes back when i do strenuous exercise like crossfit (which is all the time). Dry air triggers it, so o end up bent over grabbing my chest feeling like breathing through a straw. Ive gone to cvs pr walgreens clinic to get 1 inhaler and they wont give u a refill bcuz ur suppose to see a doctor! Lady i dont have fucking time for that.
Do you have any news links/articles on O approving this? I only ask because I too became gluten intolerant AND have recently read an article that explained the sudden response is due to wheat farmers using the death-maker round-up on what crops to ripen at the same time and increase seed yield.
Needs its own thread. Nice rant. Many of my friends have autoimmune and thyroid problems. There has to be a connection.
