You don't have to pay more than $2000 per YEAR now for prescription drugs under Medicare after the new law went into effect. And you can set up a payment plan for the amounts you do have to pay. So the initial $2000 payment will be all you pay for all your prescriptions all year. 😁
You would need a prescription from a Canadian doctor, and Xtandi at full retail would still cost around CAD 3,250 (USD 2,450) / month.
The Canadian price is a lot better than USD 13–15,000/month for someone without insurance in the U.S., but still not cheap. One month's supply from Canada without government coverage would be more than the U.S. Medicare deductible for the full year (even before the cost of travelling to Canada to get a prescription).

I’m retired military, and my health insurance covers my medicine almost 100%. My copay is under $20/month. Two pharmacies state they will work with patients.
So far I'm paying $0. Maybe they forgot to charge me.
