I use around 20 000iu monthly, that's probably more than 20 000$ monthly, I live in a country with socialized medicine.
Interesting thing is, the patients in USA have better care than most people in the world, how's that possible?

My GF is a pharmacist and helped setup a Hemophilia clinic, the pricing and billing for that is crazy complicated in the usa. And then they end up with actual physical checks for 100k+ just sitting on a desk because the hospital and insurance companies are too stupid to do electronic payments. It's all insane when you are dealing with such expensive drugs.
