Thank you President Biden

The inflation reduction act passed in 2022 lowered some drug costs. My husband has been paying $400 a month copay tor for Eliquis. He refilled his prescription today an it cost just a little over$100.

If I had that kind of burden, I'd probably lose my home, or stop eating in order to afford that.

I swear, I feel a primal scream happening inside me. After all the news I've read today. Especially the immigration horrors happening all over the country. What is happening to the courts, all of our institutions. I don't recognize my country any more. I feel like I'm in the wrong timeline somehow. I want to scream (but it would scare my 84 year old mom), so I hold it in. It ends up breaking out in tears running down my face.

TSF is absolutely destroying America. Not sure how much more of this I can take.

That we could afford it but 300 dollars a month gives us some breathing room.

starting a long time ago.

As Rachel says, we can't imagine democracy is a given state that is or is not, and we were entitled to it. We were so so spoiled.

Campaign finance MUST change, the Supine Court must change, we must change.

I'm so glad for your husband's reduced cost, and all others Joe worked to lift up. May the unraveling take down the whole regime of monsters and their puppet masters.
