The only catch is you have to be 65 or older.

Grrrr. i'll have to wait a couple of decades. >:(

How much do you pay for the imitrex?
Over here it's 52.43 euro for 2 injections (6 mg) without subscription, with, it is 10 euro. I've noticed you have a different insurance system. Over here, insurance is for everyone. Just a small fee, every 3 months (7.5 euro)

Hungary:

2 Imigran inj. is about 40 euro without subscription
~ 20 euro with it
insurance is circa 10 % of salary (~ 40 euro/month)

Subsistence level is about 200 euro. 30 % of Hungary's population live under (or near) this level.

Woow, not good, these prices are very unfair.
Here we have a social security system where everyone (who works) pays, about 14% / per month of the salary. On top of that we have to be member of an instance and that costs about 7.50 / 3 months for each member of the family, kids cost less.
