An American woman has described the US healthcare system as a 'scam' after purchasing a medication for $1,000 for only $25 from India.
Victoria, a user on Instagram, shared that her insurance company declined to cover her necessary medication, resulting in a prohibitively high out-of-pocket expense.
She found relief only after being recommended to obtain the drug directly from an Indian manufacturer.
Victoria stated that ordinary people in America were being 'completely scammed' by the healthcare system.
She further inquired about the destination of all the additional funds, calling the healthcare system in the US 'a joke.'
Users on social media emphasized the systemic exploitation within the healthcare system in the United States, while also commending the affordable medications available from India.
