I think it’s a difficult balance, because we’re also talking about poor people who possibly don’t even have insurance being able to get the medication they need. I don’t think Azar is going about it properly by any means, but there’s a reason people take healthcare “vacations” across the Mexican border when they live in a border state. They’re fucking desperate. They might even be dying. Or they might be psychotic without medication.
I absolutely would not recommend this because of quality control issues, but about 20 years ago, I lost my health insurance and I am Bipolar Type II, so I had to import drugs from India to stop the suicidal thoughts I was having, bought on the cheap over the internet. I didn’t have any other option because I sure as hell couldn’t afford to pay full price for what I needed. Now I need a bunch of medication due to other medical issues and that is likely to increase. If I lost my insurance now, I’d have to do it again or I would be in serious physical pain and mental anguish.
