LightHawKnight 01/13/21 1:17:24 PM #14:	And just yesterday the three peens podcast talked about how shitty american health care is, also the insurance. Mark talked about how his doctor wrote him a prescription for 90 pills, and his insurance gave him 30 pills. Said he needed a doctor's note to get the full 90.
