It was a Minute Physics video. Only 2 minutes, and a great watch.

None of those meds do anything to prevent or end a cold, just treat symptoms. So you may be fooling yourself, or you may be treating your symptoms well enough that it feels like you avoided the cold altogether.

If they got that big of a discount, it may have been a manufacturer’s savings card.

It’s not the pharmacies that set the prices. At least, not really. The pharmacy pays near the listed “cash-price” for the drug from the wholesaler, who buys from the manufacturer, so the pharmacy can’t really afford to charge much less than they do for many drugs.

And the price the patient sees after insurance is decided based on the insurance or pharmacy benefit manager who deals with prescription benefits for the insurance.

Pharmacies are also contractually prevented from charging less to a cash-paying patient than what they charge to the insurance companies, so you start getting weirdness with coupon cards to work around that.

Germany had 17 active nuclear plants in 2011 and decommissioned them all by 2023.

I guess Ol’ Windbag Winnie was a smoker then, with such accelerated aging.
