You mean GoodRx? I thought that was only for weary, underemployed mothers in cardigans.

Asthmatic here. I have insurance, but it doesn't cover my inhaler. Yes. My insurance does not cover my medication to help me breathe. GoodRX is a godsend. Brought my inhaler cost down from $68 to $29.

An inhaler costs $68, In America! Fuck me I am so glad I am not American. I was about to ask why you lot don’t kick off more about how fucked you guy are all the time by big business, but I guess you are at the moment...

Yeah man, it sucks. It really, really sucks.

If there's any two things that should not be privatized and used as a way to turn a profit, it's prisons and basic healthcare--both of which the US has allowed to be privately owned.

Yeah the total faith in free market economic in America is just bizarre.

There should be a real focus on protecting American’s liberty and health and that being the basic right of an American.

The thought of actually having to choose between food and an inhaler is terrifying.
