The price was bullshit to begin with. The cream probably sells over the counter for about $2.50 in most other countries, so OP still ended up paying 10x the price.
Its a tax scheme.
The pharmacy claims this medication is worth $275, insurance covers $40, and then they get as much as they can out of the patient while claiming the rest as a loss they can write off on their taxes.
US healthcare is stupid.
You should really be replacing ~~stupid~~ with "evil"
That's fucking evil and the cunts should be held accountable for their evil
But yous won't cos you're pussies
Nope. It's consequential. They need to raise their shareholder value in any way that's legal, even if it's not morally right. If they won't do that, they'd get into trouble. For corporations tax loopholes are there to be exploited.
Making those loopholes illegal is what will fix this. Then you can call it good craftsmanship by politicians. Right now you can barley call it shoddy.
