The COST of Living Healthy???

I am happy to see that our President of the United States has successfully recovered from Covid-19, and in recored time no less.  Now a free and fair election as fair --as best as it can be in the midst of an unprecedented (in our lifetimes) and untimely pandemic-- can continue to move forward, with President Trump back out on the campaign trail.  Try as you might, you just can't keep a good man down?


    



Had some additional interesting news to share with respect to medical concerns in our nation.  I saw an interview, one on one with Mark Levine and President Trump.  Where for once, the President had the opportunity to tell his side of the story in the absence of rampant spin and bias.  It turns out that President Trump has taken bold steps to drastically reign in outrageous $$drug prices$$ here in the United States.  He signed and put into effect the "favored nation's clause" for pharmacueticals sold here in the United States.  What does this mean?  It means that if drug company sells a prescription for a lower price to another country, then that same price must apply to the drug when it is sold here in the United States.  So a medication that sells for "10 cents a pill in Germany" will now cost ten cents a pill here in the USA as well, where previously it has sold for several dollars a pill.  Moreover, the President put into effect new transparancy federal regulations which will enable you, the consumer, to see what various pharmacies are charging for your medications.  This so HUGE for anyone who has become ill or has a chronic (long-term) condition that requires costly medications.  Now families won't have to choose between getting the medicine they need to be well and putting food on the table.   Thank you, Mr. President!  You are a true hero for the hardworking women and men of this nation!  God Bless and keep you during these tumultuous times, the First Lady and your family as well.  Keeping Mrs. Trump in our thoughts and prayers for her recovery!

P.S. Something is going on with my font-styles here?  Cannot seem to find the uniform font that I had been using.  Every font-style I try posts really small and hard to read, regardless of what I try.  What I get for trying to speak to truth and reason in a time of profound conformity????

10/16/2020 Heard today, from President Trump's rally in Florida, that his administration somehow managed to place a medicare cap on insulin medication at $35.00 per month.  If you will recall, prices were up as high as $400.00  per month under the Obama-Biden administration.  $400.00 month is criminal!  People were having to cut doses of medication, endangering their lives and that is wholly unacceptable.  Thank you, yet again, President Trump!!
