The government will never change themselves for the people, but focus on profit and power. Nothing gets done without promis of payment. The greed is nauseating. People can't afford to live, here, in America. Our government fails the people. It's up to us to call out the crooks.

    Before his passing, my husband was placed on Harvoni, a drug to cure Hep C. The dosage is 1 pill per day for 12 weeks. The cost: $96,000.00 in 2016. The same treatment in foreign countries, approximately $900.00 US. I had to spend all our savings on various prescription co-pays and file bankruptcy after his passing due solely to medical expenses after Medicare, a secondary insurance plan and a suplimemental Prescription drug plan.

    The audience needs a microphone. We can't hear the questions. As a Canadian, I am glad for your citizens that you both, and others, are working on this. It is the right thing to do. Greed for too high profits is wrong and harmful. A company's prioritizing profits over the wellbeing of their customers/citizens results in the suffering and death of people. Speaking to the company decision-makers, I want to say, "These people, who you don't know, are just like you. If you choose to act this way, how do you live with yourself? Whatever you need to do to dumb yourself to the suffering of others is harmful to you and your loved ones. Doing the right thing enriches your own life as well as everyone's else's. So please do the right thing." I think I am preaching to the choir. Dear choir, have a good day.

    I second that perfectly articulated sentiment.

Long story. But, my hand shot up, and when acknowledged I said Bernie Sanders! Being a middle aged woman I thought it would get some laughs, but instead I got applause... Thank you Bernie. You.are.amazing. my hero, my role model, and I'd feel privileged to be your doppelganger.

    @@rockweedgirl What a great note! Thank You for sharing it. It quite moved me, at age 85, here on a cold, dreary Sunday afternoon. Took me back to when I first learned of Bernie Sanders. An Illinois native, I opened my Chicago newspaper in August 1963, and there was the (still-in-circulation) photo of this slight young man with a lot of brown hair (!). He was being "helped" to the ground by a policeman for marching against segregated schools in the city. The NAACP got him out of jail the next day, and he promptly helped organize a busload of folks to D.C. for MLK's famous March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Since then, Bernie Sanders has been on the correct side of All the issues most important to me, including civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social rights. #NotMeUs

    I worked for a large healthcare insurance company as a medical economics consultant. My time there taught me that pharmaceutical companies have more leverage over costs than patients, doctors or the insurance company itself. Plenty of times I analyzed pharma costs and was dumbfounded by the increases on medications folks need (not desire but need per a physician order). It was not unheard of for Brand drugs to only be referred 10% to 15% of the time but account for more than 50% of the costs associated with pharma expense. Time after time I was told I could not see the pharma rebates associated with those high cost meds despite the fact I could see anyone’s diagnostic HIPPA related confidential data I was never granted the ability to see how rebates would steal money from patients to fuel corporate greed by undercutting patients out of the negotiation table. Healthcare is a mess with pharma - better to rely on natural herbal and holistic medicine with healthy active lifestyle. Dont trust pharma!
