The same government that protects patents and prevents you from buying from overseas suppliers. I buy all my prescription meds direct from India where I pay them with bitcoin. It's the exact same stuff and way cheaper.

Are you sure it's the exact same? There have been studies looking at quality/purity of medications manufactured in different countries, and they don't all have high standards of purity.

I do the same and the meds I've received certainly work as evidenced by my ability to breathe currently.

3 month supply costs less than one months co-pay.
