Speaking of Lovenox...

Below is photographic proof of how much a two week supply of this medication would cost if I did not have prescription drug coverage.
Tell me why again that universal health care or, at the very least, expansion of Medicaid is a bad thing? America is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It seems criminal that anyone would have to worry about obtaining access to a medication that can save their life.

I Paid Good Money for this Pulmonary Embolism

Per my below post, I was in the Mental Institution ™ from 04/08/2013 to 04/12/2013. During this time, I was pretty immobile and am convinced that my stay was one of the factors that caused my DVT. Yesterday, I got the explanation of benefits for this stay. Do you want to see how much it costs to develop a blood clot?

If my blood clot were a car, it would be a used 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
