Reply To: Ageing Alone without Family in America vs. Aliyah with Family and Nothing Else

Health: It’s a complicated medication thing that would need to be imported every month and paid for out of pocket…. several hundreds of dollars each month, at least.

I’d need a doctor who’d agree to prescribe me this medication because in Israel they use a different go-to medication.

And the kicker is:

There is only ONE manufacturer’s version of this medication that I can take.

I have adverse side effects when I take the brand name, two other authorized generics, and one other non-authorized generic. Basically, I’m really lucky to have found what works for me, and even now I can only go to specific pharmacies just so I get the right generic.

If I had endless money, there is no say that Israel would let me even import the right generic for the rest of my life.
