21. Everyone doing cheers.......

in hopes that it could soon be available for them, should recognize the reality of the medical situation we are now in, and the fact that if it continues, it will only get worse in the future.......

By the time it hits the market, it will be soooo prohibitive in price, only the top 1% will be able to afford it, and like so many drugs today, the insurance companies will take their sweet time in approving it.

The Medical Insurance Corporations, Drug Insurance Corporations, and Pharmaceutical Corporations have all been conspiring together for Decades.....

Some one I know is prescribed one of the new miracle cancer drugs.......The pharmaceutical company's LIST price is $ 24,000.
A MONTH FOR 30 PILLS...........That person I know, has the best drug insurance policy available, and her out of pocket cost is "ONLY" $ 2000 a MONTH.

I listen to Trump, and I laugh my ass off when he says he is going to lower drug prices by 100%, 400%, etc. I would bet that his MAGAot Voters are so poorly educated that they mathematically think that those lower drug prices are EVEN possible. I talked to a Trumphumper a couple of days ago, who is waiting for his Rx's to go down in price.......I had to explain to him, that a 100% reduction would mean they were FREE, and 400% means that the Drug company would have to PAY HIM to take the drugs....

I am constantly confronted with how poorly educated even people holding master college degrees are......to me it is not only ludicrous, but un-fathomable........
