What Is It?
LifeLine Medications provides affordable access to prescription medications through cooperative purchasing, cross-border coordination (where legal), and manufacturer negotiation.
The Problem
- Insulin costs $300+/vial in the US
- Same insulin costs $30 in Canada
- People ration life-saving medications
- People die because they can’t afford treatment
How It Works
- Cooperative purchasing pools demand for better prices
- Manufacturer relationships negotiate direct
- Cross-border access where legal and safe
- Subsidy fund helps those who can’t afford any cost
Safety First
- Legitimate medications only
- Proper cold chain for biologics
- Licensed pharmacy partnerships
- No compromises on quality
Cost + 20%
We take 20% margin to sustain the service. No more.
