Huh? Me? Astute?

1. My doctors say I'm not allowed to eat sugar...I get jittery, and it makes it hard for them to get me back into my straitjacket.
2. I need to look up the word 'astute'....and then I will reply to that.:p

Ya wanna hear something funny ... and a God is my witness true story ? I was looking for a funny Sandra Bullock pic to tease you with on an earlier post tonight. And I couldn't find a "bad" one. That included a few showing her with NO hair. I honestly said to myself ... sheesh ... she has one of those pretty faces that you can't make homely ... no matter what. So .... watcha make of THAT ?? True story :)
 
I've fallen far behind in the posts. So here is my catch up post, regarding pharmaceuticals, and the American for-profit medical system.

I was on a drug called a biologic for RA for 3 years. It was called Rituxan. It cost my insurance plan $1500 each for two six-hour infusions, two weeks apart. So $3000, with me co-paying $50, but now it would be nothing, with a different plan.

I had an American friend on the same drug at the same time. The drug is made in the USA. It cost her $75,000 for the same two six-hour infusions two weeks apart.

I would have to say that is the most incredible price difference I have ever heard of! Someone is getting gouged, and it was not me, or my Canadian health care plan.

(Not wanting to debate American vs Canadian health care plans, just the cost of the drugs!)

The pharmaceuticals were ALL chemical companies first and foremost back in the 30's. Youtube ... type in "The Cancer Report" .... an hour long expose that will open some eyes for sure ... showing the rich families behind it.
