    Why can’t you do that to big pharma with their overpriced meds?

      Because then you could die. You usually don’t get prescribed drugs you don’t actually need.

        Have you actually been to a doctor recently? They won’t hand you opiates anymore but you can still get plenty of medications just by asking about them.

        Guess how much insulin costs in other countries.

          In Canada we’re going to give it away for free!

          Which is a good test for the new pharmacare system, because it’s cheap anyways. Hopefully it progresses to actual full drug coverage and we can kick these worthless private insurers back to hell where they came from.
