Anybody notice how cheap laser eye surgery is? It’s not insured so they have to compete on the open market. Maybe if drugs were not covered by insurance we might see something similar.
My wife and I are 68 and my blood pressure has hovered around 162 over 102 for over a decade. We’ve not been to a pharmacy in over a decade either*. But we do take suplements and watch our diet (no fast food in over two decades, and I see donuts as worse than cigarettes, literally).
I am shocked at the lines at the pharmacy area of my local Kroger’s. I think our nation is becoming addicted to prescription drugs. Just say no!
*This ma be because I’ve not been to a doctor appointment in over a decade either.
$5,000 is a lot of money. We paid that to fix my badly done 1 catract surgery. It is considered a Cosmetic surgery, thus even if it’;s a medical necessity ins doesn’t have to cover it.
And you can bet the farm Tranny surgery, hormones Will be covered.
I take 4 meds, all essential, like you big on Vit/Mins, and Probiotics. I take indvidual bone ones, and the Covid protocol with Quercetin, added in Quinine Bark to boot. Just upped the D3 as it is part of the bone vits. Zinc I usually take I doubled. I learned a lot reading Earl Mendell’s Vitamin Bible when I was younger. Reversed OP back to Osteopenia, all but 3 bad areas. Drugs hate me, jump for joy.
