As a type 1 diabetic in the US forced into paying $400+/month in copay to a premium PPO plan in the US for insulin that costs $1200+/month without insurance, on insulin that costs a mere $180 month WITHOUT INSURANCE in Canada, I say:
SHILL
- Scoundreller 10y agoSo you are buying your insulin in Canada, right? (I don't mean mail order, but a border run). Insulin doesn't require a prescription here.
- true_religion 10y agoInsulin doesn't require a prescription in most US states either.
- slantaclaus 10y agoNot yet.

- thescriptkiddie 10y agoHave you considered an HMO instead of PPO? My brother is a type 1 and his copay with Kaiser is less than $25 per month. Obviously the HMO plan is more expensive, but not $400 per month more expensive and the $0 copay for appointments and immunizations is nice.
- diabetesthrowaw 10y agoThat's just another horrible and perfect example how U.S. citizens suffer thanks to their government officials being non-americans and rigging the system for profit and using people as cattle. Here, all my insulin, check-ups etc. were covered by the welfare state until they changed it a few months back to cut expenses. Now I have to spend ~80€ a month from my unemployment check to keep myself alive and it makes me beyond depressed, I couldn't even begin to comprehend how horrible it must be for you.
