Republicans Block Attempt To Lower Drug Prices In U.S.

[GoLeft TV]

Senate Republicans blocked an effort by Bernie Sanders to lower drug costs and allow for the import of lower-cost drugs into the United States. With the GOP, it is ALWAYS profits over people. The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. Bastards.

I just ordered for a patient from Northwestpharmacy.com in BC Canada.

$650+ for two tubes of prescription ointment in US pharmacies.

$65 (US) for the same meds + $30 shipping from Canada.

This country is sick.

2. Yes, cuz everyone knows those Canadian drugs aren't 'safe'

They're dropping like flies from bad drugs in Canada. Wait, they're not?

3. They're the exact same brand and packaging as from here.

America has become nothing more than a system of extracting money from working people.

4. Hey, how do you send you prescription?

I never see a paper one anymore.

I just went on the site and I can get 90 days of a med for less than I pay for 1 month WITH INSURANCE.

5. Email or fax a scan of your script.

Get your doctor to write an actual script. NWPharmacy verifies it with your Drs office. There's full instructions on their How To Order link on their homepage.

Yep. The pricing is another example of how the USA is run by corporate fuckheads.

6. This bill could have helped someone like me

The medication I need is expensive, so expensive that it puts a sizable dent in my monthly budget. It is too bad Hillary didn't win, maybe this bill would have had a chance at passing.
