I have insurance and Vyvanse was still going to be ~$200+ a month

When I was on my parents insurance, the first 1-2 fills of the year were $11/pill and ~$1.20/pill after that (20mg). Now that I'm on my own insurance, it's $2.50/pill year round.

That means if I take it every day, it's ~$900/year

$900 a year to become a functional human seems like a killer deal ngl

I spend more than 900 a year on way more stupid shit

Having to spend almost a 1000 dollars just to be functional isn't great, it sucks. Bringing you up to baseline should be free/virtually free imo

And your ideology doesn't even matter, even if you're a hardcore capitalist it's more beneficial to the economy to freely give the support needed to enable people to become productive.
