Because most of Congress is in the pocket of the Insurance Companies.
That’s awesome!
there are a lot of programs that help with the cost of the high cost drugs, but you have to ask. 2 of my meds for my AML i am getting for free in the mail.

Steve, so glad you are getting that help! We certainly want to do a program to highlight some of these programs to help people pay for the drugs.
