Optum bought the local clinic and so far my wife's rheumatologist and nephrologist both have left.
Can't wait to see where this will lead.
Do you know where they have left to? I wonder where Medical Doctors consider better places.
At this point, probably McDonalds.
I hope they come back to Canada, we could really use a couple here. We don't pay as much, but at least you won't have to tell a patient they can't afford life saving care.... (yet)
Remember denying health care for profit is a noble cause that is should be celebrated in our capitalistic hellhole.
You have "access" to health care, and that should be enough for you peasants.
Yes, my Liege. We shall be happy with the "access" to health care.
Access is granted, right up until you need to make a claim. As long as you're paying them and not the other way around, your access will remain granted.
Hey, if anybody can use it (as long as they can pay) then it's Public. (This is actually a frequently used definition of Public in Britain)
Praise be to the shareholder!
Glory to the Line That Must Always Go Up.
The drug I've paid $25/15 pills for the past couple months suddenly jumped up to $140 this week. I tried giving CVS a GoodRX coupon to knock it down to $75 and they told me they no longer accept them.
It's an important drug to me, but luckily not vital to my survival. Still, fuck this healthcare system.
They dont accept goodrx? https://support.goodrx.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004952983-My-pharmacy-won-t-accept-GoodRx-What-do-I-do apparently you can call them if needed. I've never used it myself though.
Hi, I'm an independent pharmacist

CVS is CVS Caremark Aetna... They are as big as it gets in healthcare. They are a big 3 PBM ruining the whole system and the number 1 pharmacy chain. If you have any choice at all don't use them
-
Goodrx takes money on the back end from stores and sells your info. Most independents don't use them, but they'll have an in house price that is usually not going to be much worse than goodrx
-
Someone in this thread making a joke about assassinating a pharmacist is... I don't even know what.
CVS did a good job of some areas of wiping out competition in their expansion days so you may not have other options. If that's really the case, you could fight big with big and see if Amazon has a better rate. Though really it sucks that your insurance would increase the copay so much on you.

Oh, we are way beyond that point. My insurance stopped paying for this drug years ago. Told me I had reached the "lifetime benefit limit". This is all out of pocket and the price yo-yos constantly. It's not the first time it's been this high.

The amount of warnings and bans I got from reddit so far for saying shit like that. Good thing I'm not there now.
The amount of shit i took on reddit and thought it was normal… i‘m sober for around two years now and it feels very good. Abusive relationships are an insane thing. We dont understand when it happens, especially when we are born into it.
I‘m kinda sad for all the non milennials who didnt grow up with „the matrix“. That movie aged like fine milk.
no no no... it's not like you're not allowed to kill poors. cops do it all the time. so do corporations. and president's. and civilians too, one just got released for killing a homeless person around the time Luigi was arrested for allegedly shooting a corporate demon, according to unsubstantiated rumors.
corporations are people, my friend; poors are not.
Not just men's. It's unisex! E for Everyone!
"well, you see, it's a free market. They can always just choose to pay $1,000,000 for this inhaler, nothing's stopping them" /s
I should start making inhalers!
Yes, you're certainly free to do so, you'll only need to wait until our parent runs out (whoops, we made a meaningless adjustment to the formula and got the patent extended), spend huge buckets of money getting your production chain up to the spec of the regulatory agency that we captured, get contracts with the pharmacy benefit managers (whoops, we gave them totally cool and legal kickbacks), and then when you start making money, we'll just drop our price until we bankrupt you, buy up the scraps, and make sure nobody else can recover anything from the ashes.
The laws are written and enforced for the benefit of the rich. Not yours.
The system is working as designed.
It's not designed to help you, but it's working as it was designed to work.
Seems like terrorism to me...
So who's next? We need a tribute to volunteer taking care af a CEO
People need to storm the streets and fuck shit up like the French. They can’t arrest us all
I hope those parents find justice. With their son gone there's no telling what might happen. I hope the ceo chokes on his toast.
I know what you mean, but comments like yours always make me feel sad. Like, what is justice in this context? A just world would be one in which their son is still alive. Justice died with him.
My own experience of litigating an injustice sticks with me. No amount of compensation can ever undo a wrong that should've never been allowed to happen.
Justice means whatever the parents see it as I guess.
Real change isn't going to happen until a few more get Luigi'd
I'm honestly hoping that the next time someone gets so tired of these mass murdering dick heads, that enough lessons have been learned from Luigi's situation that the entire populous turns into Johnny tightlips, and the feds can't find them.
I swear that Luigi would have lived a long, happy life if not for that one person who called him in.
Fuck McDonalds!
"few" is really unscientific. everyone knows for an experiment to yield reliable results you need a representative sample size. and then repeat the experiment to see if it gives the same result. only then you can be confident.
Learn to crop.
Culls for profit are actually cool and encouraged.
A direct consequence of Trump's rolling back Biden policies?
No and united plans to go after people that talk negatively about them
No, because they are much more rich.
This is where visa doesn't help. We need Luigi in this case.
