    Even without any insurance/coverage that specific medication (Adavair Diskus) is like $100 CDN ($70 USD) for 60 days where I live in Canada, and the generic is $20 cheaper than that.

        And mi d you, astma inhalers aren’t anything special or a new discovery that requires billions of investment. This is stuff that was figured out decades ago and it’s simply abused out of greed

        The CEOs of these companies belong behind bars for murder

      I don’t have asthma, but can find what’s normal in Australia. On a pharmacy website

      Zempreon 100mcg CFC-Free Asthma Inhaler with Dose Counter 200 Doses - Salbutamol (S3)

      One of those inhalers is $9 AUD, or about $6 USD
