LMAO I love conservatives
Conservative government cuts healthcare budget to give tax breaks to their rich donors
Healthcare turns to shit
?????
Blame immigrants
The conservatives in Canada are switching people to a biosimilar insulin to save money. They save $2 per pen. The kicker? A vast majority of people are noticing that the biosimilar doesn't work as good, and they need 2-3x more units to get the same effect.
Now I'm no mathematician, but there goes your $2 savings when someone is using 2-3x more pens than they were.
Maybe it actually will over time as that will likely be new doctors, nurses, paramedics, techs etc.
How else are you going to leave the ER if not by a medical doctor from India providing Uber service?
