I'm laughing so hard right now lmao

The pharmaceuticals want over $1K for my medication, and the insurance left us with a $966.33 co-pay

I'm dying


We have BlueCross BlueShield PPO Federal, one of the best insurance companies available, and they're paying $40

Pendraflare February 23rd, 2015 8:27 PM

An over $1k medication?! It must be some insanely rare type that can't be found anywhere else in the world... :o

Alexander Nicholi February 24th, 2015 12:59 AM

I don't even have any idea. I take lithium carbonate for bipolar which is old, generic, and dirt cheap; I take risperidone for a multitude of things which is also generic and thusly dirt cheap; I take atomoxetine which is not generic yet and runs between $70 and $80 but has been recently topping $90... my new medication, Abilify, is the only thing that's changed.


The biggest thing running through my head right now is how much those sample tablets we got were worth, wondering if that shit got in the wrong hands, how much it would sell for... holy crap




30 milligrams of this stuff, which isn't even an antidepressant or a mood stabilizer costs about as much as a mortgage.

Fuck.

Bobbylicious February 24th, 2015 1:04 AM

This is why I stopped taking my meds coz wtf nty

Alexander Nicholi February 24th, 2015 1:08 AM

Our insurance is the best. THE BEST I TELL YOU.

And they're actually the ones paying the "copay"


This has got to be fucking cocaine or some shit I don't even... no. High grade coke doesn't even run this much for the amount. What is this

Ice February 24th, 2015 1:21 AM

that's a capitalist health care system...

Bobbylicious February 24th, 2015 1:30 AM

It's only cocaine if u put it up ur nose

Once I did cocaine. But it was pepper. I just needed to sneeze rly bad.

Eh, I don't think the problem is so much capitalism as it is a duo of cronyism and a passive populace. If we had citizens who would stand up for competition and free business I wouldn't be paying more for a mood stabilizer than a cocaine addiction. It's all about the most people will pay and it's sad to see the limit so high. Passive, passive. Shame.


I should mention though it's not really a mood stabilizer, but in my case it's functioning as one. I forget the name but it's in the same class of drugs as my risperidone is, which is a hodge-podge group of meds that have many many functions for all sorts of things.

adventuring February 24th, 2015 4:41 AM

It is a pity that some need to take drugs/meds so often in order to feel like a functional human being. I wonder how that came to be. Maybe it's always been that way.

Usually the popular movies are filled with texting and chuckling and muttering and such.

Wow, Americans must have really shitty moviegoing etiquette, I never notice any disruptive behaviour here.

Meanwhile I burst out laughing at the end of American Sniper because the dude was the one part of the movie I couldn't stand and I had no idea until the very end that it was based on a true story lol

You're really not allowed to even rustle your bag of crisps in Swedish theatres xD

As an American.....when I go to movie theatre, its rare, but I've rarely noticed any folk whom are causing issues. There is that one guy or girl who gets a phone call and rushes out to avoid causing a disruption. There was one time where someone's phone went off and the guy answered it and started talking during Thor2. Finally someone in the room told him to leave and the one guy freaked out, yelling and screaming curse words all over the place. Finally a staffer came in and was getting the guy to leave the staffer got punched in the face by the cellphone guy and more staff and some of the movie-goers helped drag the S.O.B. out of the building. Then, the rest of the movie was fine. Just that ONE guy normally.

And yeah, the movie American Sniper was based off a real story. The father of the main character, Wayne Kyle actually told the director and the actor, keep the events to the truest colours to honor his son; and if they tried any extra Hollywood unneeded explosive stuff, the father was going to unleash unholy hell on them both (His exact words too); however it seems that both Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper were both able to honor said agreement as the movie is completely accurate with the book.

I guess its just people and their natures you know? Not all folk are going to just sit down, shut up and eat popcorn watching the movie. Still, I wish it was so.

Livewire February 24th, 2015 8:44 AM

It depends where you go, I usually go to a nicer outdoor shopping mall that has a Rave Cinemas. Can't say I've ever had a problem at that one. Now the one closer to the city, weeeeeelll that's another story.

Shining Raichu February 24th, 2015 8:54 AM

Are the cinemas super crowded in America? Where I live (which, granted, isn't a big city) a lot of the time the movie cinema never goes past half full, if that.

Chikara February 24th, 2015 8:54 AM

I was at the theater seeing Gone Girl, and there was a group of three middle aged women who wouldn't shut the fuck up. They were yelling the entire movie. So I turned around and asked them to quiet down, and they just kind of leered at me like I was being rude. So my boyfriend turned around 5 minutes later when they continued to talk and said "hey will you quiet the fuck down?"

They got all mad and said "this is a public place", someone else sitting near us said "that's the point, shut up", yada yada, they were glaring at me as we walked out and I said loud enough for them to hear "just a little decency would be nice".

People can be so rude and unaware of their surroundings :/

donavannj February 24th, 2015 8:56 AM

It also depends on when you go. If you go late into a movie's cycle at any of the theaters near me, you're probably going to be the only one(s) in the room. The initial weekend showings are hit or miss. Depends on what type of crowd your stuck with. Most premieres I've been to have been quiet, but I haven't been to a premiere in 5 years. If I go, I'm always going to see it several weeks after release.

It both depends on two factors. What day it is and what movies are playing.
When I went to see Thor2, it was only a Saturday night and the cinema was playing both Hunger Games 2 and Jackass: Bad Grampa so naturally it was packed for a small city's worth. Where I like is like a shut-off community, a small town really with nothing but quietness in it, you have to head north to find anything of greater expense.

Cura February 24th, 2015 9:07 AM

Well, being in southern NJ, you got only residential zoning everywhere and forests (a lot of forest).
Unless you had up towards Deptford or south towards Milville, the only cities I know that have a movies remotely near me.

moon February 24th, 2015 10:26 AM

On Valentine's day, me and my dearest were leaving the restaurant and thought we'd check if there was any spots left at the movies. There was, but only single seats at the edges of the rooms lol. I wouldn't want to go to the cinema without company, and definitely not split up with someone if we went together. And in any case absolutely not on Valentine's day haha.

Pinkie-Dawn February 24th, 2015 11:20 AM

My family and I almost always go watch the first showing of a movie in theaters, where there's not much of a crowd for any disruptions. Whenever a comedic moment happens in a movie, the audience just laughs for around 1.5 seconds.

Hikamaru February 24th, 2015 1:24 PM

I never even go to see big movies anymore. I used to enjoy the cinema when I was younger, but I feel like movies have been getting more boring lately and also in recent years I was pre-occupied with so much stressful work that it limited the free time I had.
