False. You know why? They get the card that makes it not cost that much direct from the manufacturer. Would we like to keep making things up that aren't here for the purposes of villifying someone?
Um, I was agreeing with you. The worst case scenario for that drug, bought through the website with no discount card or insurance, would be $6000 a year. $6000 is not $1000000. It is less. Thus, I was agreeing with you.
If I wanted to try to fill in the gaps, I could start adding up doctors visits and such on there, or assuming 2-3 doses per day, or even a factor of 2 higher cost at a local pharmacy for whatever reason, but there is no reasonable method by which you can push that number up by a factor of 175. You appear to be correct on the first post.
If a person is going to challenge a Presidential candidate with the amount they're paying for health care, they ought to use a number that is sensible.
