We are over-medicated. Doctors should be like: stop eating and drinking like crap and half of your issues will be null. Get off social media and ride a bike and that mental balance thing will be put in check. Spank your kids and grow a garden just because. That would prove you care about yourself enough to then be medded-out.

Weird; I have to decide every couple months if I’m going to live for the next couple months, and make a run out of state to go get cannibus to eat food and sleep. Otherwise its 2 days and a wake up before I take my own life.
We all got problems, and I hope those people (like my parents) can get their meds without having problems.
I’d just like America to full fill the promises its made to me and my siblings.

I appreciate her effort but having a healthcare system based on using the excess of the wealthy to fill the needs of the poor isn’t a good solution, it’s piecemeal at best. It can’t guarantee what people need will be available. It could also be called trickle down medicine. And if you think trickle down economics works, google historical wages since 1980. Inflation adjusted, wages are flat. There is a solution the entire rest of the developed world used. Sadly, too many Americans are drinking cold war koolaid for us to do it.

If you’ve created medications within a system then it’s that system which gave you the opportunity to do so. Just a thought. (not a thought that can be lightly dismissed either. Well, not in good faith.)

Americans need to see tax as a good thing, because it is things like healthcare it pays for.
The bill for any medical procedure in the UK to the individual is zero, the cost of prescription drugs is c. £8 ($6) per drug per month.
We all pay tax for the benefit of us all.

US should scrap medicare and government subsidized healthcare. This way no poor people will be able to afford to see a doctor so will have no need for medications.

As a pharmacy intern, I offer people many ways in which they can afford their medications. There are discount programs like GoodRx that tell you the cheapest pharmacies to get your medications and they discount your medications so you don’t have to pay full price. These discount cards are great if you don’t have insurance or your insurance does not cover your medications. Also, there are manufacture coupons for the very expensive brand name drugs that can be combined with your insurance to make them more affordable. These coupons also include free trials (30 days of free drugs) and your doctor could provide you with free samples, if you request them from your doctor. You just have to know your options and do a little research before you decide to just pay for stuff. If anyone needs help with affording their medications, I may be able to help or guide you.

I have invested with some scam brokers in the past, and the story is as horrific as the ones i have read because i went through the ordeal myself. I lost almost $80,000 USD to this unfortunate brokers, a friend referred me to Mr Richard Nelson that got me 80% of my money back, plus my accrued bonuses. Please stay clear of these scammers and if you have lost money you can still get your money back if you really want to, you can reach out to Richard Nelson via Telegram @richardn44 he will definitely help you in getting back your lost funds to any broker….. as mine was recovered too

Yes but you and I pay taxes and the person who is supposed to help us gets the best treatment that none else can get in the world and he does not care if we have money to pay for bills, rent or medications! He just want his judge to be appointed no matter what ! Not once he said sorry for all the people who we lost due to Covid !! Under his watch !! Shame ! Shame ! On him and all around him !!!

If you need to choose between paying for medications and paying the rent/bills.. then you probably need to get a second or third job.
This is just a load of emotional arguments, what it boils down to is that people want “free stuff” or at least have to work less to get what they want or need.
The only thing I can see is people moaning and complaining about something the want, but they dont make the effort to achieve it.
Go work, work hard! No excuses, no complaints.
