"Americans who have asthma and COPD should not be forced to pay, in many cases, 10 to 70 times more for the same exact inhalers as patients in Europe and other parts of the world."
Astrazeneca Symbicort Turbuhaler, imported to my country, after taxes and everything, sold for $10 (60 doses) and $20 (120 doses) (current exchange rate). Cheaper alternative also available.
And they “capped” it in America for $35. I wonder how much it’s cost before the “cap”, ridiculous.
Last time I had to buy epipens, about 8 months ago or so, they were still $120. That still seems absurd to me. I am fortunate that my dog’s insurance is better than most people’s and I only paid $11 for them. In comparison, my vet could give me a half dozen syringes of epinephrine for about $15. The markup on epipens is crazy considering it’s literally urgent life saving medication.

If this is the purple one I think I’m paying 250 per 120 puffs until the premium is reached.

We were charging 400 for an Epipen…
