> Even my generic luvox was $170.00 with medicaire and I pay every doc I see and with medicaire my co-pays are at least $30 just for an office visit and lots of insurance plans limit the docs you can see or the meds they will cover even private. Phillipa
well. in europe luvox (brand) 100mg 30 pills costs ~30 USD. without any insurance. thats the actual price of the drug if you would buy it yourself.
Prices are generally more enxpensive in us than anywhere else.
and most european countries have a proper social/health care system. for expample, I have a 100% cover of prescription drugs here. if I would have more money it would be ~5 uds per prescriprion drug.... but i am retired due to my illness and pay nothing. and yoou always get insurance and cover of your costs. whether your condition was pre-existing or not...
good for the ill, bad for those who earn much and have to pay much tax...greets
