[being in US is hard]
[then don't]
many in the US can hardly do anything but work
Whatever, you weren't listening anyway.
US citizens have the most powerful passport in the world and a cost of living that makes overseas travel profitable. There's no goalposts moving here. Paying a shitton of extortion money for a privilege of not paying the overblown price might be a decision to make might be a dexision they consciously make, but that's not my point. My point is, this medicine does not cost nearly as much, and the only reason >$1000 numbers are thrown around is that nobody in their sound mind pays them. If you're willing to embark on side-discussions, I'm willing to entertain you, just stop bringing up your movable goalposts.
Lastly, the whole point is how in the US quality insurance IS a privilege
Having rights of a US citizen is a privilege. Living in US while having rights of a US citizen is a privilege on top of a privilege. But one doesn't have to. That's absolutely a choice. Repeat after me. An Afghan person with nearly no rights and a cost of ticket to US exceeding their life-long salary doesn't move to US because it's a privilege. But for a US hobo, whose monthly expenses far exceeding a ticket to a sane country they're "magically" already allowed to enter anytime they want, staying in US is a choice. Don't even try to twist that into a privilege. Time and flexibility, my ass. US citizens spawn with a golden ticket and a knob to dial life difficulty to "easy". If they stay in US past their healthy young prime, that's on them.
Off-topic? Goalposts? Misinformation?
Now that you've named specific drugs, it's awfully easy to show how US is just a scam: https://www.statista.com/statistics/312014/average-price-of-humira-by-country
The difference between US and the runner-up is worth not just two plane tickets, but a lavish vacation. Just accept it, you're being had and it never crossed your mind to do the reasonable thing.
What part of my comment lead you to believe I was referring to anyone who was able to subvert the customer model?
A plane ticket out of the scam country and back is a pathetic fraction of the "thousands dollars cash per dose" you invoked.
How does it look like in a proper 80x25?
Each dose is thousands of dollars cash.
LOL, it's because it's not, simple as that.
Hope you're joking, because this is not how any of this works.
Now when we have Matrix, we also need to deal with rescuing people from a NIH protocol designed around a property nobody needs.
Blocking UA access via JS alone is not enough.
How about, you know, not letting it turn long-term?
Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don't know it.
