    Last time I went to my doctor's office he was filling in Medicare forms and bitching about it. He has to put in code number for every single procedure and each drug. And they just changed all the code numbers so he has to look up each one to fill each form. He told me the Medicare only pays him $4 for the antibiotic but they pay him $18 for that act of inserting the needle in somebody's arm or ass. Gotta give lots of shots to pay the note on his Mercedes.

    mexico. But Im guessing its way harder to get shit in than it was a decade ago where we would load up on whatever meds we wanted for a 10th of the price.

    my premium is 40% higher than last year for less coverage; not sure about the meds.

    This is where I really miss Red jumping in to tell us we're all making this stuff up.

    See my premium went down, and I have better coverage but my deductible went up. Fucking bullshit, especially when your spouse lives at the doctor.

    I knew a guy who went there a few years ago and came back with a shitload of lortabs and Mexican qualudes. Had to go to a Mexican doctor for a few bucks who prescribed anything he wanted.

    In states that border on Canada there are services that charter a bus and people go fill their prescriptions from their American doctors at a Canadian pharmacy.

    I've been to Mexico to get pills. Dude, it's insane but risky. I'd love to go to Canada now with an American script but it just isn't close enough. If I lived in Michigan or NY I would.
