“I was obliged to write a check for $649”

You have the affluence to take a vacation to Peru for fun but think $650 is too much to cure severe diarrhea caused by a parasitic infection?

Sounds like the greatest bargain you’ll ever have in your life.

Please don’t get me wrong. I did not like paying the price, but I definitely can afford it. My whole purpose for relating the experience is in sympathy for people in this country that DO NOT have insurance, or that cannot get past their deductible. Certainly, you must have sympathy for those people as well. By the way, I just threw the line in at the end about “joining the poor” for literary effect.
I hope you will focus on the real message the I am trying to raise about the various “parasites” that plague our less financially privelged citizens—and NOT ON ME.

Gosh, that sounds a little jealous or something.

Being successful enough to be able to travel to Peru does not exempt someone from reporting and even complaining about organized crime.

This is a very old generic that one company has a monopoly on in the Untied States. It literally is pennies in cost outside of the United States.

If there was only one oil company in the United States and you were paying 150 dollars a gallon for gas, what would you say?

I am a total believer in free enterprise and capitalism. This is neither. This is a company buying up distribution rights and thus becoming a monopoly.

You are a hopeless moron.

RTFA! The pills only cost $650 because of the government.

The fair cost is pennies.
