Have you heard of Eliquis?
It's a blood thinner, currently the most effective on the market. Bristol-Myers Squibb with Pfizer have been defending the patent like vipers, extending it and suing the more than 20 generic alternatives that are trying to get to market. Without government intervention, this drug would likely be $30 a month or less. Because of that intervention, it's difficult to get for less than $300, and out of pocket is $600.
Back in 2021, I stopped taking Eliquis. I was leaving SSI, leaving Medicaid. Couldn't afford it while also trying to escape the life of government supported parasitism I'd been living. I'm one of a small number of people under 40 with sever blood clotting issues, with only Eliquis able to effectively treat it. So despite attempting through diet and supplements the whole time, eventually the lack of proper treatment caught up with me. I nearly died this last week, the clot that ended up forming strangling my gut. I got out of the hospital today, still recovering.
The government has, through sheer dumb luck, successfully forced my hand. Their intervention means I cannot continue to live without depending on them; without returning to parasitism. I'm going to have to beg and plead from people who I hate and who hate me to stay alive through their stolen goods. Plus, I'll be lucky if I figure out how to escape the debt spiral I'm now on. I'm already 99% certain bankruptcy is inevitable, bye bye my BTC.
It's a personal rant, but it's where I'm at. I don't even know who's death would solve it, otherwise I'd go hunting. I'd happily sacrifice myself if it brought this to an end for everyone else, but I don't see how that trade happens. Ugh
