My doctor makes them on weekends and the evenings.
I use Lipitor and Nexium - both WITHOUT prescription. Lipitor 20mg runs me $18 for a 30 day supply and Nexium 40mg costs more - about $30 for 14 days. No co-pays, no deductibles. Generics are so cheap it's almost laughable - $1.50 for cough syrup with codeine, indomethacin for gout, a strip of 10 @25mg costs 75 cents.
This has allowed me to offer healthcare to my 22 employees - all paid as a business expense because it's so affordable. Stay with us for 6 months and. I'll cover your families too.
What mess in the US - what a shame.

Before I had health insurance that covers prescriptions I had pay for mine out of pocket. Here is how crazy the price difference are. I use two medications. One cost $45-$55 depending on the brand (even though the medication has been around for more than 40 years there are still no generics) and the other cost $325 for a 30 day supply.
I can buy the exact same stuff overseas through the internet for a fraction of the price. The one that cost $45-$55 I can get for $11. The one that costs $325 I could get for $70. Exactly same medicine made by the exact same manufacturer only a fraction of the price.
