So I can tell the little piss weasel to fuck off?

I had an injury this summer and what I needed was $10.00 a pill and it is not on the Medicare formulary meaning they would not pay for it . That's not so bad but I needed one every 8 hours. I was on the phone with everyone daily. Dr. Pharmacy, medicare and united heath care. I almost couldn't text with one finger let alone hold a pen. Medicare wanted a written request. I could not do it.
The Dr sent the appropriate forms but I was denied. I rarely use this emergency medication so they must not think I really need it. I only bought $240.00 worth and still have 4 left but it broke my fixed income.

So even at $13.50 a pill that's crazy money. Big Pharma has gone psychokiller on us. Corporations have no conscience. Even though the Supreme Court declared them human. They are not.They are Zombies. In this case , truely, toxiplasmosis, will eat your brain.

The corporate prime directive is to make a profit.

Not to save lives or help people.
