    Or, you know, you could just have socialised medicine which encompasses the full health care cycle including diagnosis, monitoring, non drug treatments, tailored medical advice and preventative medicine.

    But yeah I guess if that’s off the table cheap drugs is cool too.

      Well, of course we could – the fact we haven’t is why it’s come to this. 🫠

      While i think it sounds risky, it’s awesome news for anyone that can’t afford proper healthcare. I’m also thinking that given 5-10 years we may see this evolve into something a lot more viable.

      Cheap drugs with no quality control is not a good thing. That’s exactly why so-called “health supplements” have harmed so many people.

        Very true. This is not a thing people should be having to resort to.
