      Yes, you should think about the poor owners who now can’t afford two solid gold toilets on their yacht and have to make due with one gold one and one silver one.

      But, no, you lucky asthmatics just think “oh god I can’t breathe where’s my inhaler” like a bunch of selfish jerks.

          Better than a warm one, it’s like someone was sitting on it 2 minutes before you lol

                  Still thinking like a poor. The heated seat option is a literal human who sits on your golden toilet to keep it perfectly warm for you at all times.

                  As if someone with a gold toilet would put up with a cold seat because of a power outage.

      They would still be profitable at $5 most likely.

      They always argue that the added cost covers the R&D.

    Astrazeneca Symbicort Turbuhaler, imported to my country, after taxes and everything, sold for $10 (60 doses) and $20 (120 doses) (current exchange rate). Cheaper alternative also available.

    And they “capped” it in America for $35. I wonder how much it’s cost before the “cap”, ridiculous.

      If this is the purple one I think I’m paying 250 per 120 puffs until the premium is reached.

      We have to fund the pharma execs some how, their yachts have gone up in price too.

        Last time I had to buy epipens, about 8 months ago or so, they were still $120. That still seems absurd to me. I am fortunate that my dog’s insurance is better than most people’s and I only paid $11 for them. In comparison, my vet could give me a half dozen syringes of epinephrine for about $15. The markup on epipens is crazy considering it’s literally urgent life saving medication.

          That’s exactly why there’s a markup. It’s a captive market.

      Honestly, with all the “shit show” in America, my “shithole” 3rd world country doesn’t seem so bad anymore.

      At the very least, we got affordable healthcare, low cost education, and no gun violent.

    I’ll take $35/mo cash to tell Blue Cross BlueShield where to shove their prior-auths on decades old drugs with generics.

    This is just about patient copays, right? And AZN still gets to charge patients’ insurance as much as they can get away with?
