Oh, I should add, since you're not from around here, I don't know how English health care functions, but coumadin is about $12 a month with my parents' insurance, and my monthly INR checks are $30. If the level is off, they schedule weekly appointments until it comes up normal two weeks in a row--$30 each time. So in a year where nothing goes awry and I only go to the doctor once a month, I pay $504. And I have to get off my parents' health insurance in a couple years.
Meanwhile, Target had a bottle of 250 fish oil pills (1000mg each) for $15. If I took two a day, it's about $44 a year.
