Trump's Drug Pricing Scam: You continue to get robbed

This article is an essential read. It details one aspect of the destruction the Trump administration is causing our healthcare system by robbing American's blind even as he promised to eradicate this pilfer. The GOP ACA Sabotage Effect is real but we are so distracted with Russia, Stormy Daniels, and other issues that while important, does little for the middle-class or the poor.

I run errands for her from time to time, last week I went to the pharmacy for her. She gave me her insurance card and her credit card. The bill after her insurance was $1021.58, that was for a one month supply. I almost passed out. I don't know how people do it, we could not, that I know. She has good insurance through the university so it isn't fly by night.

These drug companies are robbing us without even using a gun.

Americans should be revolting for paying these prices for drugs we pay to research mostly.
