69. hers are fighting words, for sure, and I'm willing to fight

Fri Jan 29, 2016, 09:36 PM

Jan 2016

I am very familiar with how these insurance companies and providers and drug cos. are in cahoots to fraudulently bill and bilk us. I'm a cancer patient.

Meanwhile, Big Pharma is taking their profits overseas with tax "inversions," on paper showing their headquarters are outside the US. Yet our Dem Congress agreed in the ACA to let Big Pharma have a monopoly on pricing since negotiations for drugs outside the US are forbidden. It's outrageous. THIS is what Hillary should be talking about but I won't hold my breath. I'll just vote for Bernie.
