I can't say that for any of the other people in the clown car. When did our country go off the rails like this? How did this happen? Drug prices are just nuts. I'm using cipro with a steroid in my ear, and a teeny tiny bottle retails for $250. It's maybe half an ounce of liquid. It must be made out of gold.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-12283187679936461922015-09-22T18:42:21.919-07:002015-09-22T18:42:21.919-07:00Order away, Rain!

The compromises he had to make to get the bill passed are gut wrenching and impossible to parse but I have health insurance I would otherwise have out-spent myself and been ineligible for and so I feel blessed. You, and my mom who also had a copay for a medication that cost Medicare $1000/ month (we stopped it after 6 weeks), and everyone snookered by that little twerp - saw him on CNN and could hardly keep lunch down - deserve not only to be angry, but there ought to be relief.<br /><br />They are awful. Left, right and center. What is it about our system that lets this kind rise to the top?<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-68428662610441802792015-09-22T16:02:58.616-07:002015-09-22T16:02:58.616-07:00I'd like to think there is common sense on the...I'd like to think there is common sense on the left side but often its craziness is just in different places. I am sure everyone saw the article about the guy who bought a drug company to make the cost skyrocket and not care how it impacts humans with AIDS. We got a personal dose of it today at the pharmacy where I was coming to pick up a prescription which my doctor had renewed. It wasn't there though we had gotten a call saying it was. Then we finally found out it not only wasn't there but they would not order it until we came in. It had a certain classification. It's not something I need often but I like having it on hand but when I found out the copay would be almost $300, I decided it wasn't worth that to me. There was worse info. Its actual cost was $1000; so the government was to pay the rest through Medicare and my added insurance. I was in shock at the cost but you know why so high-- the ACA bill does not allow negotiating with drug companies on cost... Just think about it. I might not pay $1000 for it but somebody does through premiums and taxes. Here's the cherry on the top-- I looked online and can buy it from amazon, shipped from Thailand for $70-- no copay. That's the total cost... And that was Obama and the left; so much as I agree-- I could not vote for any Republican right now, I also am angry at the Demiocrats!Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-78079269270000833802015-09-22T07:32:12.213-07:002015-09-22T07:32:12.213-07:00From your lips to God's ear, as they say.... w...From your lips to God's ear, as they say.... would that this were not assaulting my consciousness day in and day out.

That's a deadly combination. They are only focusing on abstract issues that have no real bearing on how our country succeeds. They lack substance and real vision. If they said they were going to focus on jobs and education, I "might" be more supportive. Instead, all they can do is be negative and blame every one else. It's the immigrants fault there are no jobs, it's Planned Parenthood's fault that the government may shut down, it's the gays who are destroying our country. It's all a bunch of BS and it sickens me that this is all they can come up with. THEN they have nut jobs who feed into this rhetoric. They are throwing gas on a fire and they refuse to even put out the fire they are creating. Donald Trump knows damn well Obama is not a Muslim and was born in the US, but because he can get someone's vote based off their fear of Muslims, he will perpetuate the lie. THIS is what's bothering me with the Republican Party. They refuse to tell the truth or stand-up for truth. They capitalize on the fears of racists and ignorant people. <br /><br />I wish the election was today and we didn't have to listen to this crap/negativity for another year. <br /><br />Thanks for the post. :)<br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
