1. That is a thread for the ages.
All these freepers come forward with ideas like getting their prescriptions from Canada.

:rofl:

5. WTH are they smoking, toe cheese??
"That big red warning from the FDA might be related to Obamacare. In addition to the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback, one of the earlier acts of banditry on the part of Zero and his minions was a deal with BigPharma to stop allowing importation of cheap Canadian drugs if they refrained from opposing the ‘rats health care takeover."

3. Just wow.
~And why aren't these idiots standing next to us to demand better access to health care and medications? Here's one that got me:

To: fatnotlazy
Do what you want, but in my view going the Canadian route amounts to becoming an accessory to extortion. I think our government needs to put an end to their thuggery by any means necessary.

7. Then there's the one that blames "Obamacare"
And says maybe the reason someone got a red warning on a package was because Obama was making reimportation illegal. So he's mad he can't legally buy Canadian prescriptions cheaper, and it's cheaper because Canada negotiates prices which another genius calls thuggery, and not one of them connects it to the benefit of regulation or a government that puts its people before profits. Just wild.

24. It's already illegal
Obama had nothing to do with it being illegal. Funny how none of these people gave a shit about it under Bush.

And if I had to trade fixing the donut hole for drug reimportation, I'd take that trade. Reimportation of drugs isn't a solution. Getting everybody into a health care plan that covers prescriptions is the solution. And Pres shit-for-brains knows that. I feel sad for the people who are so stupid they're worse off then shit-for-brains.

4. So one person said...
"Thank you for your input. Believe me, if I didn’t really need this med, I wouldn’t go this route. I may still try to get it here by some other method."



Does this mean we should expect to see a rash of masked robberies soon?

Kidding. :evilgrin:

But the thought of a freeper having a "learning moment" made me laugh.

Oh, and welcome to DU.

9. Such hypocrites
This person should just accept the fact the insurance company didn't pay for their medicine. I mean, they really don't owe them anything, it's a capitalist country.

13. When push comes to shove, dogmatism loses out to personal well being.
Most of them seem fine with what Canada does (or at least they're hypocritically willing to take advantage of it), but how many of them would be okay with the US government putting price limits on pharmaceuticals?

Funny thing is, in spite of the seeming hypocrisy, I do sincerely hope that individual finds a workable solution to their problem.

They sure mention "Canada" a lot.

I wonder if that means anything?

18. Life is like a box of chocolates, Ladies & Jellyspoons, you never know what you're going to get...
Until you start voting for a social network capable of hearing your needs - what lunacy this these freeper rubes - and their tearing of garments & gnashing of teeth over the effects of their brain-dead shilling is all the proof one needs to know it as if the matter weren't clear enough already fuck them!!

19. OH. My. God.
After such a heart-felt question/request, someone actually had this cold-hearted response:

Do what you want, but in my view going the Canadian route amounts to becoming an accessory to extortion. I think our government needs to put an end to their thuggery by any means necessary


This poster's screen name is "xjcsa (Ridiculing the ridiculous since the day I was born.)"

I think he needs some lessons on the definition of "ridiculous"

27. And they blame Obama for this too
That big red warning from the FDA might be related to Obamacare. In addition to the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback, one of the earlier acts of banditry on the part of Zero and his minions was a deal with BigPharma to stop allowing importation of cheap Canadian drugs if they refrained from opposing the ‘rats health care takeover.

Seriously, while this guy gets his meds, they really have no sense of irony or internal BS censor.
