[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3249868, member: 24577"] Look up suboxone. If I didn’t have good health insurance I couldn’t afford to be on the stuff and I would probably either be dead or in prison from still being an addict. This is the biggest problem with pharmaceutical companies. They know people need a specific drug and they charge 10-20 times what they should. I get 90 suboxone films every month. Well now I get a generic that they finally released. But even it’s expensive. Just like my Androgel. But it just got a generic as well. For 90 suboxone films it would cost somewhere near $700-$900 a month!! My parents paid that for me for a few months until I got clean enough to get a job. My wife didn’t have the great job she does now she we couldn’t afford it. I know that a lot of people are poor enough to get assistance but I wasn’t. I would say a big majority isn’t. I see all walks of life in my doctors office. From low life’s to businessmen and women. My cousin works at tinker as a mechanic and he goes there too. The government could easily end the pharmaceutical companies from ripping people off but they don’t because I’m sure they have deals with them to make money. After all that’s all the government cares about. Well that and power. The opioid crisis could be significantly fixed if they actually wanted to. But they don’t. They want people addicted. That’s more money for them and their big Pharma donors. As a matter a fact, my doctor told me the DEA has been pushing them to get rid of long term patients like me and my cousin. They don’t care what happens to us. [/QUOTE]
