    There was an antiperisitical that my spouse needed that’s OTC throughout most of the world, but prescription only in the US. It’s been around for the past 50 years and manufacturing cost is 4 cents a pill.

    It’s $250 per pill in the US. She was supposed to take 3 pills total.

    I ordered a 6 pack from overseas. It was $18 total shipped to me.

    Fuck the US pharmaceutical industry.
