      I’m honestly hoping that the next time someone gets so tired of these NAS murdering dick heads, that enough lessons have been learned from Luigi’s situation that the entire populous turns into Johnny tightlips, and the feds can’t find them.

      I swear that Luigi would have lived a long, happy life if not for that one person who called him in.

    Remember denying health care for profit is a noble cause that is should be celebrated in our capitalistic hellhole.

        Access is granted, right up until you need to make a claim. As long as you’re paying them and not the other way around, your access will remain granted.

      And the 2A is to allow the working class to take out their frustrations on other working class members and commit more harshly punished crimes to allow for longer sentences in the slave factories.

    The drug I’ve paid $25/15 pills for the past couple months suddenly jumped up to $140 this week. I tried giving CVS a GoodRX coupon to knock it down to $75 and they told me they no longer accept them.

    It’s an important drug to me, but luckily not vital to my survival. Still, fuck this healthcare system.

      Hi, I’m an independent pharmacist

      1. CVS is CVS Caremark Aetna… They are as big as it gets in healthcare. They are a big 3 PBM ruining the whole system and the number 1 pharmacy chain. If you have any choice at all don’t use them

      2. Goodrx takes money on the back end from stores and sells your info. Most independents don’t use them, but they’ll have an in house price that is usually not going to be much worse than goodrx

      3. Someone in this thread making a joke about assassinating a pharmacist is… I don’t even know what.

      CVS did a good job of some areas of wiping out competition in their expansion days so you may not have other options. If that’s really the case, you could fight big with big and see if Amazon has a better rate. Though really it sucks that your insurance would increase the copay so much on you.

        According to a thread I found on the bad place, individual pharmacists can make the decision to reject coupons for prescription drugs. This was per an account that claimed to be a GoodRx rep

          That’s even better.

          If it’s an individual pharmacist doing it, you know where they work, you go give them shit every day.

          I won’t fault the guy behind the counter if CVS has a policy. But if that guy behind the counter made the decision? Fuck that guy in particular. He’s gonna hear about it.

            Sounds like one of those times you’d be totally justified in putting on your best early-2000s Karen wig, going in, and requesting to Speak To The Manager.

              In cvs (or any us retail pharmacy), the store manager has no control over the pharmacist. Ask the the pharmacist for their supervisor contact info. If they present anyone from the front store, ask that person for the pharmacists supervisor info.

              I dont recommend going full Karen, mind you, but running one or two discount cards to see if it helps is the fucking minimum.

              I was a lead pharm tech in a busy east coast cvs for years. I could not always run each of the 42 discount cards a customer brought in, but good rx for sure, and at least a couple others. And if they wanted, yea over the course of a few days yes, I would run 42 fucking claims and call them and let em know which one knocked 6 bucks off the monthly 1800 out of pocket cost.

        I hope they come back to Canada, we could really use a couple here. We don’t pay as much, but at least you won’t have to tell a patient they can’t afford life saving care… (yet)

        I live in the PNW, my doctor retired. Multicare, instead of just transferring my wife and I to different doctors, did nothing, and now are treating us, did nothing.

        We are being treated as new patients and the earliest a new patient can be seen is October 29th. Yes, 9 months away.

        The earliest date I have been givenrom any of the other doctors offices I have called was June.

        The joke used to be whenever anybody asked why their area had so few doctors was that they doctors all were in Seattle. Yeah, maybe, but they certainly aren’t seeing anybody in a timely manner.

        The amount of shit i took on reddit and thought it was normal… i‘m sober for around two years now and it feels very good. Abusive relationships are an insane thing. We dont understand when it happens, especially when we are born into it.

        I‘m kinda sad for all the non milennials who didnt grow up with „the matrix“. That movie aged like fine milk.

          Even though I made a new account… two new accounts. One of them had a three day ban before I deleted it. I decided to make another one (using a temp email of course) just for porn and some niche interests of mine. With my second one that only has a warning I will not repeat how netenyahu and Elon deserve to be arrested and executed for their crimes.

          And apparently simply calling for the imprisonment of Elong’s fucking infant squad for very obvious crimes is apparently a call for violence! Well then I guess wanting armed robbers to be jailed is also glorification of violence!
