    You’re assuming everyone has the time, passport, and flexibility to do this. You’re also inventing a scenario not described in my original scenario. An average worker doesn’t have the up front cash to take such a trip, cheap as you think it may be.

    You’re preparing a privileged solution, clearly outside the scope of my original scenario.

    My source aligns with yours, there’s no question it’s cheaper elsewhere. But just assuming someone can fly to Europe for a drug that cost 1500 in Germany , monthly, for a drug that needs to be refrigerated is the goalpost move.

    Lastly, the whole point is how in the US quality insurance IS a privilege, due to the fucked up system, but you were too primed to just call the US a scam to get it.

    The point is us citizens, especially those without thousands in cash ready to book trips overseas, or those with quality insurance are at a disadvantage.
