They're probably afraid of getting pregnant, because that would force them
to deal with their commie socialist pinko medical system. (I thought I'd
save NOYB the trouble of saying this, in case he's busy).


I'm not trying to start a screaming match, but I found something out a
week or so ago that just amazed me.

I take Remicade for my RA every six weeks @ $11,000 a pop - that's
$99,000 per year for very effective treatment for RA.

In Canada, it's $2,450 a pop.

Now, who is subsidizing who? :)

You're making some pharmaceutical executives very rich.

In addition to subsidizing pinko commie socialist medical systems. :)

Actually, drug coverage is not a universal benefit provided by the
provincial health insurance systems in Canada. Many provinces do have
a drug plan for low income seniors, but as a rule, drugs are an out of
pocket expense unless the person has drug coverage through an employer,
which many do. This private insurance does not, necessarily, cover the
entire cost of a drug. And, since most senior citizens are not
employed, they aren't covered by an employer based insurance plan. So,
unless they have a very low income, Canadian seniors and low paid
workers have no drug coverage whatsover.

Contrary to this, the US has recently offered a drug benefit to the
seniors enrolled in the US's "socialist" Medicare system.

P.S. The US also has a "socialist" retirement pension system, known as
Social Security.
