This is all about political donations to greedy politicians. List each politician, and the amount each receives from lobbyists for big pharma. It is not only drugs. I had to get hearing aids. The prices were $2,900, $3,900 or $4,900. I chose the medium priced ones. My niece in the UK told me that hearing aides are FREE under the NHS. No means testing to receive them, either. Seniors are considered from age 60 up. Their pensions start at age 60. Ambulances are free, too. The US has their citizens in servitude to medical costs, while the politicians give themselves GREAT medical coverage for life. If they had to use the same policies for medical coverage as most people, THEN there would be changes made. It saddens me when people have to declare bankruptcy in order to get out from under medical bills. Parents having to have fund raisers to afford health treatments for their children. It is a disgrace.
