When citizens have to travel to a foreign country for life-saving medications, something is fundamentally broken in our healthcare system. And the problem is unbridled greed among the various players with their vulture-like picking at our carcasses.

Remember when Sarah Palin was railing about Obamacare and yet admitted her family went to Canada to get healthcare, good ole Republican values.
I got mine jack so screw you.

God fucking Damn the US pharmaceutical industry and the US health care system.
If we don’t change direction on health matters, the right will kill off everyone else while
sucking every last cent out of us.

Justin Trudeau:

Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us.

 

(OK, so it wasn’t Trudeau; it was Jack Kennedy in Berlin.)

After the group returned to the U.S. on Sunday, Nystrom posted a photo
of two insulin vials: The one she purchased in Canada for $30, and the
one sold in the States for a whopping $320.

This is totally unfair to the US seller. The US seller will provide needy patients with coupons to cut $150 off the price of a vial. You won’t find a Canadian seller cutting its price by $150. MAGA!!!

Now, move along folks. There’s nothing to see here.

As a side note, America really needs a Tommy Douglas.

Fun Fact: Tommy Douglas was Keifer Sutherland’s maternal grandfather.

Will the Canadians say: Americans don’t send their best, they have diabetes, they have gouts, they need drugs. And some I assume like our health care poutine and Molson.
