  It wasn’t Albuterol he wasn’t able to get, it was fluticasone/Advair Diskus.

  No doubt it’s also cheaper on Amazon if that is even feasible in that mess. But I don’t blame the victim for not going to Amazon when his provider fucked him.

    @Hobbes_Dent OK, well fluticasone inhaler you can get for $21.95 for a pack of five inhalers from Amazon, Advair if you want the disk as opposed to an inhaler, IS expensive but not $500, $375 current listed price, but you can get the same drug in the same form discus package for $71 if you're willing to go with generic. I've used the latter and it's worked fine for me.
