Biden and Harris on now with price reductions for much needed drugs n/t

1. Good for me.

Eliquis is on the list.

We need to pump this up before Republicans change the narrative. This price reduction is a huge deal to most seniors. And seniors vote.

4. That caught my eye too

Eliquis is too expensive for me now so I'm still taking Warfarin and getting the required blood draws once a month. Eliquis doesn't need that, so hoping it goes down. Biden continues to do great things for people.

2. Biden has accomplished near miracles

Why on Earth would anyone want to get rid of this man, especially for a lame reason as "he's too old"?

5. Thank goodness.

My spouse was switched from Metformin (which costs pennies) to Jardiance (which costs $1500-$1800 every three months). That drug puts her in the donut hole. She will hit it next month - and thereafter all of her drugs are more expensive for the remainder of the year. Her next Jardiance prescription (which will take her through December) will cost her $500, and Medicare about $1000.

Unfortunately, we've got 2 more years before the negotiated prices take effect.

My daughter is on Stelara. As a young'en hers is covered by her overall cap on insurance. Her annual costs are over $200,000/year - so it doesn't make much difference what the actual cost is, from her perspective, but for anyone on the med with split caps for prescription coverage it matters.
