Unfortunately I'm in the U.S. and if I had to pay $3,000 per box of that medicine (at 2 boxes a month) I would have to die because I simply do not make that much money. It's literally more than 100% of my entire income. I'm jealous, lol.

Under Obamacare, your annual out-of-pocket maximum would be $6,350. You still have to pay the Obamacare premium on top of that. But the end result is that you would only have to pay about 10% of the $92,000 annual list price of Gleevec.

Note that grandfathered plans are not subject to the out-of-pocket maximum until 2015.

P.S. Remember to vote in the 2014 and 2016 general elections if you live in a swing state.

> if you live in a swing state

This is toxic to democracy. People should vote no matter the state where they live otherwise it is only a tiny sliver of the swings that decided who rules the country and this allows for the money influx because you only have to buy/brainwash that sliver.

If a modern democracy manages to have 80% voter turnout you will be surprise how many safe seats will be not so safe.

So just vote - no matter where you live. It is your civil duty.

Are you suggesting that "people who decide to vote" is not a representative sample of the whole population? I am not sure of that, and a quick Google search shows mixed results.

I feel no loyalty to my country. I don't give a crap about civil duty. Most people I interact with feel the same way.

I really want to believe that's true, but I'm skeptical. Do you have any sort of research backing that up?

lol is an odd response to your situation...
