Your private insurance is a scam. Universal healthcare is basic human right.

Everybody knows it. I just struck me today.

I live in Europe.

I have asthma. Not really serious, I won't suffocate, but it can be annoying af.

Today I went to pharmacy to buy inhaler. It usually cost $7.

They didn't have it, but they had a substitute. It costs $1. Basically the same as my usual one.

One dollar. Ask your friend who suck at breathing how much his inhaler costs.

I pay $300 every 90 days for mine, that's my copay

My insurance pays $700, I pay $300. I don't know how the transaction between them works.

The manufacturer only allows 3 per person lifetime, that was used up 5 years ago.

I've tried it, the discount still makes it more than my copay, and my insurance won't pay if I use any discount cards.

The retail cost is 1000 for one medication, that's from multiple pharmacies.
