and that is with insur. That is 1/3 of my income! I cried and told my doctor that I can't afford it and he had his nurse hook me up with a special pharmacy that gives it to me for free somehow. I don't ask them how they do it and am just happy that they somehow arranged it. That shows you how overpriced meds are. Now I can afford my other meds and health insur (50% of my income). It IS definitely cheaper to just die in the US. I think that is the GOP plan...kill and bankrupt the sick and the rich get richer.
