1. K n R ! Thanks for posting!

I just finished watching the whole clip.

Katie is so smart I listen to her every word.

Her knowledge gives me a bit of hope for the future!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Thanks! She really is just the best!

If only we had 100 more Katie Porters fighting for Americans!

3. We need more like her,

and less like Manchin, Sinema, Gillibrand, and a number of other senators & reps who don't put enough importance on public good.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Exactly!

Too many - the majority of Republicans - are in elective office for what it can do for them. Katie Porter is on the side of the American people, fighting for them - and I wish that we had 100 more just like her.

6. can you imagine a teenaged kid of Katies coming home late

[KS Toronado]

9. Nay, she'd just give them the "LOOK"

7. Not all Democrats...

Does anyone really need to be told at this point that Republicans are the worst? Democrats know it and Republicans think it's a virtue.

Trash like Sinema and Manchin, along with corporate sellouts like Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.), Kurt Schrader (former D-Ore.), Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.), and Sen. Robert Menendez all did their part to stick a knife in drug pricing legislation.

This is what happens when simply focusing on getting a "D" into power, the "electability" calculation, takes precedence over character.

In the end, if money...legalized bribery...isn't dealt with, democracy in the U.S. hasn't got a chance.

11. A guy in my hiking club is a retired statistician... worked for two pharmaceutical companies.

One of the companies he worked for, had a pill. Those pills rolled of a hopper at a rate of 80,000 a day. They sold for $25.00 per pill.

12. Yikes! And I thought that my prescriptions were expensive - not to mention my dog's!

My dog has a prescription for itch medicine that controls a persistent skin condition (considering that he's 16, I consider that lucky that's all he has had) - but at $2.53 per daily pill, a two month prescription is $151.80 - guess I'm lucky for that, as well...

16. Sirius/XM radio constantly broadcasts advertisements for Dinovite.... pills for your dog if your dog

itches, stinks, sheds, lethargic..... the voice over woman reports about how the vet recommended putting the dog down because of a vertebrae problem.

Dinovite cured her dog where the dog is still alive.

So I gets to thinking..... I'm 80 and my little soldier doesn't come to attention quite as quick as he use'ta. I was wondering if Dinovite would put some steam into the little guy.

What do you think?

15. Indeed she does!

17. Has anybody checked out Mark Cubans site for RX's?

It’s called Cost Plus Drugs and the prices are truly what they should be. If that makes sense.
Big pharma is probably really pissed about it.
