I don’t know what the fuck is going on with drug prices but four of my meds used to have a combined cost of under $10 for a 90-day supply. Today, just three of those cost me $56.

Glad you're alright now (seemingly).

I hope your doing ok. For someone not living in the US those numbers are absolutely insane. I just had MRI and it cost me ~20$. Hail hail our socialist utopia.
