They need to make most of the generic drugs over the counter. That would make them almost free. Most people can self-diagnose what is wrong with themselves. But you need to go through the system to get the drugs you need.
There is not a single drug invented in the last ten years that I need. If I do need the system to make me healthy, then I can go that route.
We need to be allowed to create an alternate health care system.
We used to live near the Border - when I was a child - my Mom would take us over to Mexico with her - walk into ANY drug store - request penicillin - they would ask how much, and how many - Fill it right there on the spot, and we were off. No prescription, no questions asked. That was decades ago, and I am sure still the same today.
COVID opened a lot of eyes to the corruption of big pharma. They no longer have the moral authority to tell us we can’t have these drugs.
The gatekeepers liked to tell us that they were protecting us from ourselves or that inappropriate use of antibiotics would cause out of control mutations. I don’t believe them anymore. Plus like you said, most of the rest of the world has easy cheap access with no issues. We’ve been played.
Still the same in pretty much all of Mexico and Central America. Most simple things that are rx only in the US are over the counter down there (in some cases, narcotics/opioids and mental pills are rx only).
But there's no need to see a doctor to get something like penicillin or prednisone. Not to mention, hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin...

Agreed Wannabe...I believe they also have access to Ivermectin in Vending Machines..Crazy the stuff that has been kept from us!
