Medicaid pays this woman's $10,000 a month prescription bill

$10,000 a month? Damn.

I'd be more pissed with the frickers charging that much

I wonder the amount of money the the government is spending to keep that nasty woman alive. Adding all the "entitlements" she receives, I bet that would be well over 400k a year.

MUST BE NICE!!

Her name is Olga


I'm not sure we should be keeping Olga alive.

I'm not gonna lie. I had the same thought.

I'm HIV positive. For 20 years, I have survived on my meds that are $10,000 a month.

$120k a year for 20 years. That's $2,400,000 dollars just for her HIV meds for the past 20 years.

she is so thankful for our tax monies helping her stay alive?

Those officers are thankful that she uses a wheelchair to get around and is too fat to stand up. Wouldn't want to strain your back and risk getting exposed while dragging her arse out the traditional way

Do you know how healthcare works in america?

If you want to go down the rabbit hole of who is getting outrageous medical bills paid for by the government, this person is probably not in the top 1000.

Yeah, but are the others as charming as Olga?

There are plenty that cost over 100k. They're almost always for extremely rare conditions (think 30 people nationwide) and the manufacturers still usually lose money on them. Also, HIV is not even remotely in the sphere of disease states that would be impacted by any cuts to medicaid.

I have no idea which drug she could be talking about, though. None of the HIV therapies I'm aware of cost >10k; most are under 5k.

Send her to progressive Canada. They have a, uh, final solution to her problem.
