The Xbox Series S will be cheaper than a vial of Insulin in the USA

5 vials for 110€ here. And that's if you buy it without a prescription. It's not even that your healthcare system is ass backwards, you're getting ripped off!
So many people will see that and think "Nothing wrong with that" and just go on with the rest of their day. America is more about "Got mine, F*** you" and about liberty and freedom.
Yeah that's crazy, people just get ripped off in the States, the mighty Dollar rules over everything. They'd make you pay to breathe if they could.
There's a great piece on drug prices in the US with a large section on insulin I'd recommend here:
For reference, insulin is free here in Spain. And whenever you have to buy any sort of drugs/medicine/antibiotics, as long as it's with prescription, the price is usually under 1€. Though in my experience, the doctor who makes the prescription usually just gives me whatever medicine I need, on hand, for free.
Ah the greatest country in the world once again proves it's really far from it.
It's like it want people to die or live in poverty.

It's fucking terrible and extremely sad. These poor people. I haven't visited a doctor since god knows how long because I don't even want to deal with any of that.
I have T1D and really good health insurance and it STILL cost me about $120 a month for two boxes of insulin, test strips, and pen needles. U.S. is killing diabetics.
This is just your daily reminder that the United States is a failed state. This country's fractured foundation has been laid bare starting over the last 20 years, but especially over the last 5 years.
As a parent of somebody with T1D, I'm glad all the time that we have decent insurance.
EDIT: She uses a CGM and a pump and to give you an idea how much everything costs, we go through our $3k deductible within the first two months after insurance resets. Pharmacist was concerned the first time insurance year reset and even called to make sure the cost was expected.

As a neighbor of Spain o say is pretty much the same but I also pick the paper and go to a normal drugstore and they charge me like 1€
Last time I was on an appointment everything form appointment to medicine cost 1€
This is terrible sad. Wonder how many people skip their vials just to eat or pay rent. Get a grid of yourselves USA! My mom gets her medication free every month in Costa Rica. I get an amount deducted every paycheck that goes towards helping everyone gets their medication/care. If we can you also can.
remember folks that market based healthcare solutions have proven even with reform not to protect for cost. A national approach to pharmacare is the only humane future.
The twitter comments on this makes me lose faith in humanity
Hey but at least we have all those brand new tanks sitting in the desert, huh how bout that... anyone?
