Meanwhile the bill introduced 3 years ago that would allow people to purchase prescription drugs online from Canada gathers dust. GQP should embrace this bill because competition.

I was quoted $5000 to fill one of my two insulin prescriptions a couple weeks ago because my insurance company wouldn’t cover it. But why would they? For profit healthcare is best.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Could you travel to Canada and pick it up cheaper there?

I'm supposed to restart an immunotherapy course that insurance is being wobbly about. Might ask my doc if I can get it cheaper out of pocket at a clinic in the Bahamas, or maybe the Yucatan. Who knows what would actually be going in my arm, but I'd be on vacation.

You should move to Colorado.  Seriously.

Yes. I’m well aware of what Colorado is doing. They care about their constituents.

I’ve had several text conversations with my texas rep, Mihaela Plesa, about what colorado is doing. She disregards my input as it’s not something that is at the top of her list.  It’s frustrating but also understandable as she is likely focusing on women’s reproductive rights. Picking her battles.

In the primaries a few weeks ago, I had two lengthy discussions with the republican primary candidate, Steve Kinard, about what Colorado is doing. He was not aware of it but was pretty enthusiastic about the idea. I sold him on the idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if he included it in his platform.

I live in dallas and need a new vial every month. That kind of travel just isn’t sustainable.

There’s lots of variations of insulin. Some long lasting (24 hrs); some short acting (a couple hours). Some have been around for decades; others a handful of years. When the dems said “we lowered insulin costs”, it’s not that simple. Maybe for one type of insulin for old people only. There’s work to be done but I’m not hearing about it much these days.

The shit I’m prescribed is expensive. I just want to be able to shop around. Everywhere.

I was under the impression that US doctors could file a prescription with a Canadian pharmacy and have the meds sent to American patients?  Not that it's necessarily "legal" but that it happens.  Wrong?

I’m not aware of that practice but my endocrinologist’s office could fuck up a wet dream. So, my confidence that they could coordinate that is 0.0

I sincerely hope he was sold as you say and that there is enough support from others in the Texas state government to make it happen.

Posting this here in case you see the kind you need. The Medicare requirement seems to have gone away and commercial insurance is being covered more than not

EL-OH-EL. Proof that being able to make significant amounts of money is not related to intelligence.

I, for one, am willing to open up my entire bank of thoughts and prayers for this poor person.

That dumb motherfucker isnt smart enough to hold onto $500K for long. He would have blown it all  on liberty coins or Trump bibles anyway. Lulz at entering a market order on a high flying stock already halted a few times for volatility. Of course, if he wasn't mentally handicapped he wouldn't be in Trump's flock in the first place.

I looked into that whole story and apparently this happened to him back in May 2023.

And, drum roll ...

 

 

 

 

... he blames the SEC

Ha. The odds are greater that Trump could pass a Differential Equations course than they  are that this f'n chump sold any of his Trump stock.

My rough calculation says he averaged in at ~ $139 per share.  If he's still holding, he's only lost 77% of his life savings.

On the one hand, leopards biting faces party.  Deserves our mocking.

On the other hand, way too many of us have older MAGA relatives who could easily get duped into something like this.  Not so funny.

From Forbes. Is this bad? This sounds bad.

"Beat the coming sellers to the exit. This stock remains significantly overpriced, with a book value (price/net worth) under $2, a price to sales ratio of over 25x, a large negative profit margin, and a negative price/earnings ratio. All the new shares will make the negative fundamental picture even worse."

Are 40 million american morons and a few evil billionaires enough to keep the Trump stock propped up at a value greater than zero until Trump can cash out?  

I just don’t know how they can do it. I guess the Saudi sovereign wealth fund could buy up all the available shares, but if something like that were to happen it’s not really being actively traded is it?

I like knowing what the "enemy" looks like.  I'm an undersized middle aged man who hasn't really been in great shape since early college, but I'm not a pussy like these twits.  I'll take my chances if the shit really hits the fan.

Imagine taking lessons on how to be a man.  What the ever-loving fuck?

I've told this story before but during Obama's 2nd term my chain smoking, feeble, alcoholic FIL paid to attend a tactical arms training & defense class put on by "real" former special forces types in South Texas. He was telling me how concerned he was that he might not pass because of his bad knees/back/shoulder, etc. He didn't care much for my response which was to tell him he passed as soon as his $2,500 check cleared. Grifting from the scared & stupid is almost too easy.

Take your mind back, I don't know when
Some time when it always seemed to be just us and them
Girls that wore pink and boys that wore blue
Boys that always grew up better men than me and you

Tell that cunt I will personally shoot her when she starts her shit. But not a clean kill shot. I want her to feel her agonal breathing as her lungs fill with blood. I want her to experience those last moments, knowing that she fucked around with my country, and she found out.
I’d say the same thing about any fucking terrorist who tries to overthrow my country by violent force. She’s worse than Bin Laden, and I hope her cocky ass meets his same fate.

Oh, I can't wait for MAGA to try to take over the Pentagon.

People (wrongly) think the military is hard red, but regardless, they are not going to stand for an armed "insurrection", no matter how comical these so-called patriots are.  They would get slaughtered by the Army, and justifiably so.

Fuck that, I'm gonna gut that fat ass pig-eyed bitch like a fish.  Except I'll leave her entrails sitting her lap so she can look at them.
