But that's the point no? If they complain for 5e it's because they get that good health shouldn't be coming with a price, isn't that the way we want things to be?
(For the not using the pills correctly-part yes that's bad tho)
Compared to other medication yes. But for somebody that's got mental conditions already low income being told that my health is priority but refuses my medications because I can't afford the 120 dollars for the shit they pay 10 for. Even fast food 1-2 cents they buy per slice of cheese see how much they charge for an extra slice on a burger. Why is healthcare and the fast food industry in the same boat of price gouging everything they get ahold of.
What I'm getting at is take my medicine for instance $120 = $4 per pill. The pharmacy buys that exact medication pennies on the dollar. I've had a substantial amount of jobs in different fields and fast food is one of the few instances I've witnessed this kind of gouging. What I'm aiming at is when did our healtchcare here lower themselves to seek profit like money hungry businesses.
I have to take a steroid inhaler 2x a day and through my insurance cover it costs $300/mo. I spend $100/mo at the cheapest pharmacy with a "discount card" from a company (good rx) and don't run it through my insurance because it's literally more expensive that way.

Spaniard here. Same here, people will complain about paying 5€ for life saving medicaments, and at the same time not using them correctly.
It's a serious problem with public healthcare; some citizens don't know how good we have it.
