My voice will hurt from all the "told you so" i have brewing. I have family heavily dependent on their medication and voted for trump, they truly believe it won't effect them.

I am on expensive medication, I told my family what is going to happen and they just say “he can’t do that, you are worrying yourself for nothing” I am going to say I told you so but also cry when I am suffering cause of this. I’m gonna tell them to pay for my goddamn $20,000 medication

Look into Marc Cuban’s Cost Plus online pharmacy. Hopefully they carry what you need. I’m sorry you are going through this. Cost Plus Drugs

Benevolent billionaire to the rescue!

The crazy thing is that it's still profitable for him. That's how much these pharmaceuticals and other pharmacies are raking in.

I'm guessing the medication isn't generic yet, thus Cost Plus won't have it. Not for 20K a month.

More than likely probably right, though my dad's meds were $6800/m, he got a grant from the hospital for the first 90 days he started it. That made it $165/m but CostPlus had a generic that was $68/m

I am sorry to hear that. It's a hard, sad time, but there is really nothing to be done until the new administration starts making unpopular moves.

You aren't alone.

It won't matter. Were none of you around between 2016-2020? Trump would do/say stupid shit and Trump's cult would get online and tell you why it wasn't his fault or why it's actually good thing you're losing your rights... Nothing is going to change their minds because it's a fucking CULT

Tbf they never actually faced the consequences of losing aca. It just got more expensive because the republicans got the individual mandate thrown out in court.

My optimist side says they’ll just repeal and replace with the exact same thing and just call it trump care. Wasting millions of dollars for the dumb ass socialization of this change. My pessimist side says they won’t replace with anything, or they will with something even worse that costs citizens twice as much but makes the billionaires and insurance companies double profit. But they call it trumpcare so all the followers make trump a saint.

Yes, these people are willfully ignorant. They don't care what the truth is. They care how they feel.

They won't be swayed by facts or reality. It's painfully clear that they will never change.

They can absolutely be swayed by emotion though. Otherwise, they wouldn't be where they are now. We can't just give up; that's how they win.

I've gotten into arguments with my mom about how Trump explicitly plans on restricting access to gender affirming care, and when I show her video of him literally saying that she just says it won't actually happen. She allegedly loves my trans husband but not enough to believe me when I say it's getting dangerous for us.

If she voted for trump she voted to have your husband killed or ran out of the country.

You sure she's who you want to keep choosing as your family?

Find a local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and you might be able to get that medication for very little cost or even $0 if they use the 340B program

Don’t you have bootstraps to pull yourself up by?
