Utah will pay for public employees to go fill prescriptions in Mexico
- cosmic_shame 8y agoThey got the name of the drug wrong, it's Avonex (generic name: interferon beta-1a), not "Axonex". The original SL Tribune gets it right.
- londons_explore 8y agoIn a few months, drug companies will change their pricing to be based on the citizenship of the patient, rather than the country of sale. Suddenly giving up US citizenship to get cheap Mexican drugs seems a lot less tempting.
- mud_dauber 8y agocan you mention a source for this?
- londons_explore 8y agoNo source - it's my speculative prediction.

- NTDF9 8y agoYou know your healthcare is f*ed up when its cheaper to fly out to another country for healthcare. Seriously, I am dead serious here, why don't Americans vote for healthcare to be a societal service (before crying socialism, I mean it can be just like fire stations, police, schools, roads and our favorite expenditure, military)? People are literally dying while Americans keep crying numbah 1 all the time. It's about time America realizes that these are solved problems and America can learn something from the rest of the world. It's ok to be number 2. There's no need to kill your own just for the bragging rights of being number 1 in medical expenses (which btw is 20% of US GDP, 20% for just healthcare is just ridiculous)
