My state is now officially endorsing the use of Canadian pharmacies to fill prescriptions. Or perhaps I should say, my governor has decided as much.
It's unfortunate that the situation has come to this. I have strong feelings about the pricing of prescription medications in the United States, but this approach isn't going to solve the problem. It's just a bandaid on an arterial bleed. (Not that that would ever stop my governor, who besides being unethical, sexist, and an idiot, pretty much defines the concept of a loose cannon.)
Fred had to fill a prescription for eyedrops last month (the blistered eyeball incident). For a fraction of an ounce (the container was smaller than my thumb), the price was $80 US. It's insane.
