When insulin was invented by batting and vast, they sold their patent for one dollar in hopes that it would be free or cheap to the world. It’s blows my mind how greedy the pharmaceutical companies are.

The average Canadian pays $21,000 per year for their public health care system funded through their taxes. I recently heard it described by a Canadian as death by a thousand cuts because there are so many hidden traxes both nationally and then through their provinces. So in reality, you have paid far more for that prescription than you thought.

People can complain about the system, it needs work. But my mom got full knee replacement surgery. 6 month wait. Zero cost outside of some after care stuff.

My EMPLOYER gives an incentive for diabetics to keep their A1C lower than 7.0 and they’ll pay for your copay for all diabetic supplies. If I wasn’t part of this program it would literally cost me $100 dollars a month after my insurance covers their portion. I’m so grateful but I’m also so anxious of losing my JOB 😭😭

That's insane. Most medications in Australia are subsidized by the government are still expensive or depends what you get

okay so I have a very real question how long does it take for you to get into a specialty doctor because most Americans want to make a point that it takes you guys 6 to 8 months to see a specialty doctor when I don't believe that

With insurance we don’t pay anything. Dexcom are $10 for 3 months. Pump is $0 too.

One of the many reasons Carney walked away from negotiations - they wanted to mess with our prescription prices.
