I heard the news that WalMart is selling generic for $4. Great news right? Yes, actually they are, but also that means that it really costs VERY LITTLE to produce those drugs, and the ig pharmacy are just getting richer playing with our health. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for pharmacy to make money and use some of that money in research and development, but there are moral conducts that should be followed. An AIDS drug should be free or almost free, against a Botox injection that I agree could be expensive. It's just a matter of morality, not economics.
that's why I still have to get my expensive medicine from Canada or Mexico, and every time I know somebody is going there I try to get them to bring me some.
I suffer from lower back pain, and that is by itself another theme that I have to write about later. Anyway, every time I get sick I got two alternatives: go to the doctor, wait 2 hours (if I can get an appointment the next day) to see the doctor, not able to sit down, walk or move - the only position it doesn't hurt is laying down. After the doctor's visit he recommends pain killers, prescription. I have to get them from the Pharmacy: another two hours.
Second option: get "tribedoce" injections from Mexico - one package with vitamin B-12 plus "diclofenaco" (powerful muscle relaxer) and inject myself; you break open both vials, combine liquids in syringe and inject. Within two hours I can walk again. Cost: $5 usd.
Why I have to do that? Why does my doctor doesn't give me that? Because I am not a patient - I'm a CUSTOMER. I'm no good for him in good health, he needs me to recover slowly so he and the pharmacy make money with me. I'm no good for them, in good health. Even the insurance make money, revving the premiums every year.
