My SO takes a drug that also varies wildly in cost [0]. Some insurances will price it at ~$3/mo, while others will price it at ~$10,000/mo. Yes, really. I've had to turn down a fair few job offers due to this issue with insurance. Once, after I told them that I had to turn down the offer I was told: "Don't throw your career away". Like, dude, it's the health of my SO, I have no choice, get better insurance.
The funny thing is that this drug is given to horses in their feed. Like how we just put Vitamin D in our milk or Iodine in our salt, they put this drug in horse feed. I've tried to buy it this way, but you need a vet's license in this state to buy it wholesale. If things get bad, I'll try to buy it off of farriers or something and then dilute it down.
So, to be clear, my SO takes a drug so cheap they literaly toss it into horse feed, but some insurances will try to charge us ~$1000/gram for this.
[0] It's not really a drug per se, it's more of a supplement in that it does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It interacts in a more digestive sense.
P.S. I've written before about the issues with CU-Anschutz and vaccinations here and it may be interesting to you: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19760317 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19760317
- PascLeRasc 7y agoHave you looked into the nootropics community? /r/nootropics is the one I frequent but there are other sites out there. They're pretty good at finding ways to order drugs and supplements not designed to be sold for human consumption, someone might know how to order it from another state or country.
