    $800 out of pocket for a three month supply

    My brother in Christ, where the FUCK are you buying your testosterone that it’s $270/mo. without insurance? When I look on GoodRX right now, the average price for a 10ml vial of 200mg/ml testosterone cypionate is about $50. Assuming that you need about 200mg EW, that’s a 2.5 month supply right there. Even if you follow the recommended guidelines and discard the unused contents of the vial at the end of every month and buy a new vial, that’s $150 for a full three months.

        Oh, I wouldn’t use them to buy medication. I’m just using them to check the retail prices.

        I know that their Costco prices aren’t correct though; if you’re a member and paying out of pocket, Costco will enroll you in a prescription savings plan.

            They do, and you don’t need to be a member to use their pharmacy. You also don’t need to be a member to see the optician that they usually have there, and in at least some states, if they sell liquor, you don’t need to be a member to buy liquor.

          I’m sorry you have been brainwashed not to care about your data. I will not be sending thoughts and prayers when you are targeted by a group of people who want you dead and bought your data to make it a reality.

            As a data privacy advocate, it is a privilege to be able to care about data privacy.

            Shitty take.
            Oh, you can’t afford to pay 5x for your medication? I guess you deserve whatever hate crime comes your way then.

              You’re misconstruing what I was saying. The user said two statements. “We want affordable medication” and “We dont care about our data”. I agree with the first one, not the second one. Purposefully not caring about your data is the part I have an issue with. If you have no other choice then you have no other choice. This is not what the User was implying. The user made a statement that they did not care about their data and that is why they would use GoodRx. They never said they couldn’t pay for medication without it. Other countries dont have to sell your data to make medication cheap.
