Without health insurance, what do you suppose pinworm treatment could cost?

Including the testing for it and all.
--------------------
If you have pinworms then at some point you'll be excreting the worms and there will be no testing necessary, believe me! Besides prescriptions, you can instead use natural herbal parasite formulas in many cases (like Herb Pharm's nasty tasting liquid drops of Black Walnut Hulls which is about $10, or the nasty-smelling Renew Life Parazyme capsules which are about $22 from a local health food store), but the Rx wouldn't be too expensive I bet. Ask the doctor or health clinic nurse to write the Rx to allow for generics and it'll probably be a lot cheaper. You may also be able to ask a pharmacist at your local drugstore if there's anything over-the-counter that would work and not require a Rx. The herbal stuff kills worms, which also means its not good for your body if you use too much for too long, so follow the directions or call the company before you start for more info. Same is true for the Rx and OTC drugs I'm sure. Don't use this stuff on kids unless you know what you're doing or have practitioner supervision, just in case. Lastly, don't use this kind of stuff unless you know you have pinworms. Being pretty sure you have them is not good enough.. PS - your pets, if you have some, may have it too and will need vet treatment which is extremely important for them. Good luck!
