    It was a difficult time, but I came out of it healthier and more knowledgeable about my physical being.
    I had an onset of pancreatitis and ketoacidosis that landed me in the ICU for 6 days on a morpheme and insulin drip.
    When you are visited by your 17-year-old son at bedside, your perspective changes on many things.

    Dam dude, sorry to hear that and glad you got it under control. I do agree with you that big pharma needs to look into, they are crooked AF, and while were at it, hospital costs need to be looked into..............Between Insurance Companies, Big Pharma and Hospitals, you dont dare to get sick and go to the hospital

    in 2022, the Biden Admin passed The Inflation Reduction Act , which aims to

    as it relates to prescription drug prices, the law contains provisions that
    1. cap insulin costs at $35/month and will cap out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 for people on Medicare
    2. lower prices, including Medicare negotiation of drug prices for certain drugs (starting at 10 new ones per year by 2026,
    • increasing to more than 20 additional ones per year by 2029 and
    • rebates from drug makers who price gouge

    2 from above was accomplished on Aug 5, 2024

    I would say that is a bit more than a concept of a plan.
