    Some entity has to be on the hook for procurement and administration of the drug, etc… this is true even after the revolution I think. Hopefully what happened in this case was the doc had their clinic write it off but idk

      A lot of these meds are cheap like borscht. Zofran costs cents per pill. I’ve administered 50 ml minibags that cost $10K to the hospital, but most simple meds like this are cheap. It costs crazy amounts in America mostly because of yalls’ crazy private insurance system and the arms race between billers and insurance
