In some way or another Trump hurts us all directly. For over 15 years I have been buying a particularly expensive

medication from a Canadian pharmacy. It is a real brick and mortar store. I buy a brand name product manufactured in Canada at a considerable savings over Costco. The service has always been prompt and there has never been an issue with customs.

Now, because of the tariffs and possible issues with customs they are no longer shipping to the USA. I want to thank the Orange Goon for reaching into my pocket and costing me a significant amount of money every month.

Of course the tariffs will probably destroy any savings.

So he was in fact specifically targeting you. Not only does he not care, he’s probably overjoyed he is hurting you.

We use Northwest Pharmacy, they are still shipping to USA. The actual shipments usually come through India or Singapore, prices have not gone up.

At this point in time I am willing to pay extra for brand name or at least made in USA quality control.

Of course the destruction of the FDA may undermine quality control here as well.

Was paying $140/ per month, now am paying $10 per month.

These brand name companies have factories all over the world, how do you know where your prescriptions were made?

Eliquis doesn't have a generic brand.

It’s not allowed on the market yet, because the chuckleheads at Eliquis keep “evergreenIng” their product
The generic has been approved, and is ready to hit the market, when allowed

15. I use GoodRX

It is free & It has saved us thousands. If you are not married to any one pharmacy, you can look for the best deal as prices are all over the map.

A very large portion of the drugs sold in the US come from other countries, mainly Genarics,likey that some you now take come from India and are repackaged here.
