Talking about medicine, our daughter is on disability insurance. She has worked all her life. She has been refused medication that could help her terrible migraines. If she was working she would have been given the medication. It makes no sense since she has paid her share in taxes.

It's because the big pharma controls and owns the insurance companies

Let us boil thisd own to the bottom line. I am 66 and take four different prescription drugs to stay alive. I also pay over $200.00 a month for supplemental insurance. The bottom line is I am forced to pay another $500.00 a month out of pocket for drugs to live. Those costs have forced me to go back to work after being retired for 17 months. With the. drug costs as they are I can not afford to live. If I was an illegal invader all of the meds would be supplied free. Question; what value is my Citizenship to me where I have paid taxes for over 50 years? Illegal invaders have not paid a dime and just take more and more away from Citizens.

Retired licensed provider here. This has been a scam for such a long time. The taxpayers AND the Medicare recipients are getting screwed and have been for a long time. I’ve proven (to myself) that meds for EVERYONE could be MUCH MUCH cheaper. You see, there’s quite the LARGE middleman, who has enriched themselves while scalping the taxpayer and the weakest of us all. In addition, there are MANY who are healthy enough and young enough to work at least half time work, while MANY who really really need help are having to deal with an overpriced healthcare system. Telemedicine has really brought down that price, but not everyone can use all the time. I don’t see a solution with the middleman involved. They just keep raising prices and patient end keeps getting more and more unreasonable. If you have private insurance, you’ve noticed healthcare costs SOAR after Obamacare was mandated, and providers making much much less. Someone is making a whole lot of money for nothing other than being a scourge on America. For sure it can be done WAY cheaper. In addition to all of the above, providers are fined tens of thousands of dollars or face license revocation for treating patients with alternative treatments, like dietary and nutritional supplements which aren’t approved by the Rockefeller-created system. It all needs to go and be rethought. But they won’t. It’s part of the raping of America.

Since hunter is on cocain , it stands to reason that joe would make illicit drugs ( drugs not found in the pharmacy ) legal too . And then make the government pay for them .

Hunter is off cocaine like JD. Vance’s mother but not like Don Jr
