My medication went from $31 to $130.

I'm really frustrated right now and I would like to know if anybody has experienced sonthing similar. So I'm on Methylphenidate and I would pick it up from my local walmart for $31 dollars. Starting this month, it randomly shot up to $130. I called my insurance, they said it was somthing up with walmart. Talked to my walmart pharmacist and she said that nothing has changed with walmart in terms of a manufacturing change and no changes to my prescription has been made.

I had to bite the bullet and pay to get the medication (I'm afraid of abruptly stopping it). I plan in calling my insurance again but this is just very upsetting.

The president signed something to undo low pharma prices for some citizens - maybe that impacted you?

Of course he did.

I really struggle to understand how anyone still thinks he’s doing the American people a solid. I guess unless your main priority is bigotry.

You'd be surprised how many of his crowd don't care how bad they get screwed over themselves as long as the brown people get screwed over too and the liberals keep crying

The last time a republican president did what trump is doing to the economy, the next 60 years were only democratic presidents. They are shooting them selves in the foot right now.

*edit: omg I meant congresses not presidents!!!

I’m just concerned about all the irreversible things they’re doing.  Like all the people they’ve been snatching off the streets and sending to another country that we don’t have jurisdiction over, in conditions that our constitution doesn’t allow for. 

Or the fact that we’ve done this twice now and that the international community no longer can trust our word. 

God forbid he gets another Supreme Court appointment. The effects will probably be seen still after most of us are dead. 

I genuinely hope you’re right, but even the best case scenario at this point means a lot of lives lost and irreparably ruined.

Sorry, maybe I'm an idiot, but who/when is this a reference to? There's never been a time when a single party controlled the presidency for 60 years: https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2021/02/FT_21.02.01_UnifiedGovernment_1.png?resize=1024,667

The closest thing I can find is when the Great Depression kicked off under Hoover. Democrats took back the house in the 30s and mostly held it (apart from interruptions under Truman and Eisenhower) up until Clinton's presidency in the 90s.

What you stated is what the original comment meant

[u/jimothee → u/Reiver_Neriah]

Kind of funny they didn't notice "30's to the 90's" was said 60 years unless that was them guessing

[u/csanner → u/jimothee]

I mean OP did say president, and y'all are referencing Congress

If you are a racist, homophobic, misogynist... and not all that bright... he's your man.

Republicans exist to undo progress.
