I'm sorry :( I really do feel like accessible, affordable (preferably free at the point of service) healthcare should be available for every person globally. I appreciate it's a big ask but when we have countries like the US with citizens who have to chose between medication & food then we should consider it a failure of modern society. Healthcare is a basic human right imo.

May I ask, why is it so much?

Have you tried to get assistance from the pharmaceutical companies? They provide assistance to people who can't afford meds.

How does that work? I have a friend in the US in similar position as thread starter and this info might be helpful for him.

My doctor knew I was paying out of pocket for medications and gave me a form to fill out. I got a discount. Check this link: https://www.rxassist.org/

I understand. In my country the minimum wage is also quite low. Maybe you can ask the government for help.

It's bad, mate. Doesn't health insurance pay for medication?
