415,000 a dose for my chemo drug. 3 times a week for 9 months.

Maintenance drug? $20,000 a month for as long as my body can handle it.

Bone marrow transplant, 500,000 because I self-donated.

If I needed a donor- $750,000.

I have no clue how people without it can afford this treatment. I listed the prices to prove Biden's point. I know that a good portion of the cost goes towards R&D, but the prices are insane.

I am in remission; I hope for at least 20 years.

He's not smacking Republicans for the sake of smacking Republicans.

WE NEED a drinking game for every time he's said "I KNOW IT'S NOT ALL OF YOU"

This is DIPLOMACY. He's been slapping the MAGAts and telling EVERYONE "WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER."

They’re furious that Biden is telling the truth that they want to cut SS and Medicare. MTG leaped out of her seat and screamed like a banshee. Is she wearing a feather boa?
