As someone who is disabled
JohannesParabola
Disabled too. Even here in Germany these frequent small copays add up. And I don't even wanna start with the copay for medical aids.
DrMissAnonymous
Even I pay and I’m in Canada lol drugs aren’t free what. I’d need to like switch continents or something
WhoSaidYouCouldEatTheLastCookie
in Scotland we pay nothing
Markuspsyches
But how much do you have to pay? I don't think any of mine have gone over $50 not sure how lucky I've been.
Timpani
we just pay insurance, with a copay you can choose the size of and people with special needs pay very little.
StevieTheAussie
Well I’m Aussie; still had to pay full price when I bought my Vyvanse… It’s an ADHD medication, so not *technically* required but still…
AFutileGesture
Right in the US American.
Hellstorm99
$800.00 a month and counting. And that is with me skipping a couple, including my depression meds.
potatofamine3
Prescriptions are free in Scotland. Used to be £6 but they did the maths that it took more money to work out who was exempt from the £6
JacksCookieLifter
In England I paid for my prescriptions for an overactive thyroid. Now I’m underactive I am exempt. How do they make their decisions?
zoeytg
Listen, just go sign away 4 to 6 years of your life. Get a service related injury or 5. Boom free Healthcare and crippling PTSD.
AetSiwen
Northern Ireland: a week worth of painkillers handed over after the hospital casted both broken wrists. I paid the taxi to the hospital.
wetqueef
When that out of pocket maximum hits
SulfuricRed
I live in the states and get prescription drugs free…you just gotta sign your life away to the service of the country. All the free motrin

originfoomanchu1
So nice living in the UK where my medication is free I would be dead without free prescription
ra1nfield
Aaaah, the feeling of having that as common practice. Feels good living in a place that isnt run by insane people.
VagisilToothpaste
I get free Rx, but at the cost of like almost ZERO doctors accepting medicaid. It is absolutely ridiculous.
DaNylz
Damn I got lost in the European Porn section again.
CelticDave
Move to Scotland and you get to experience that all the time free prescriptions ?
Chnie
Said no one in scandinavia ever.
SuperFang
Mine are only free because i'm poor as hell lol, permanent disability be like that
Noxnarie
Bought ADHD medication and they asked if I wanted the cheaper versio. It only cost only 12€. My lifelong lasting estrogen costs 4€/3month.
squirrelgirl86
I just paid $90 for 50 fucking diabetes test strips. Thankfully I only test myself once a day.
ArgonSpark
Just had 4 prescriptions filled after a 5 day stay in the hospital for diverticulitis. My whole bill was under $100.
kholli
I actually got my last script for $0... b/c I had surgery this year and hit my out of pocket max.
Sasurau
I think it's hilarisad that my post-op oxy cost 1/10th the cost of my migraine med. Actually less. 5$ for 15, vs 50$ for 8.
Abistantin
Yall are paying for your drugs?
zebrains
Not some Californians. We have medi cal in this state, and it's usually $0 at the counter for meds
vegivamp
Only for the ones that don't come from the apothecary...
mikeymikec
Well it's not Halloween yet...
Ohyesireallydidthat
Well, yea. I paid 3$ for 1 month worth of insulin
Habtor
I pay nothing for my cancer meds. If I didn't have insurance it would be $1000 a month and that's in Canada.
eggmuffin
Norwegian. In any given calendar year, I cover a "copay", until my total expenditure on health services for that year reaches about $120.
WilliamHuskerAdama
Norwegian here. Frikort is 2460 NOK as of 2021, or $233.79. Still ridiculously low compared to US healthcare.
Fyttihælvete...
From that point on, everything is free. Doctor's visits, tests, prescriptions, examinations, the works.
Anfalicious
In Australia is au$6/script until you get to $750 in a year. It takes filling out forms, so many wouldn't bother, but it's great if poor
boson23
Another Norwegian here, zero paperwork needed here, as soon as you reach that limit(about 230 usd not 120), they just stop charging you.
Never forget you're only a term or two of neoliberalism away from losing that
TimothyTiberiusTurner
https://costplusdrugs.com/ for anyone struggling with prescription prices, check here to see if they have it cheaper
Oh I ain’t switching shit. I end up suicidal& screaming at everyone I love. I’m staying where I am till the apocalypse- then Goodluck ya’ll
Skulldoor
It's almost like my doctors use costplusdrugs to find out what they shouldn't prescribe. Nothing I need is there.
Nikolai5
I'm not American but someone in a Discord group I'm in recommended this to all the Americans there as you can get Dimethyl Fumarate cheap.
ivedonewhativedone
This and GoodRX was a huge relief. Nearly $800 for two medications. Now about $80
2old2behere
Huge savings for MS drugs. Saved me 400 a month
KEbmeistergeneral
If your drugs aren't on there, Google ur drugs for free discounts and stuff!
toosoontotell
Is this Mark Cuban’s new company?
HollerinAtTheVoid
Yep, dude is building a nice legacy for himself with this one. Got my $200 script/30 days (w/ ins) for $40/90 days at this company.
JiffyGee
I literally just got my zofran from them. I got a new job and new insurance. They would only pay for 18/30 pills. Other 12 were ~50.00….
and that was with good RX. I got my 30 for 4.50 and shipping was around 5.00. MUCH cheaper. Although if I was still on Obamacare it’d be…
free. So had better insurance for less pay (now have government job and the insurance is worse at 4x as much).
FuryM0nk
Almost as if coverage shouldn’t be a game of struggling to find what’s cheapest, and competitive for your market. Crazy thought to most…
Arbitrarynamehere
Careful you might piss off the Cuban dick riders
Right? It’s insane.
Psionickitten
I got my prescription from there. They took a week to process my order before shipment. Adjust accordingly.
putcleverusernamehere
I get mine here, cheaper than insurance copay most of the time. Takes about a week include new&improved postal times under DeJoy
TheSlurmFactory
They've gotten better recently! Mine got processed same day about a week ago
Mine was literally in mid September whemn this happened.
I'm sure the next time you have to get one filled itll be better!
inkasep1
Could also be a location by location basis issue. Sometimes logistics just plain sucks.
It took a week to process but it shipped quickly because I'm only a state away from California where it shipped from.
