And we stupidly keep reelecting the same people.
If there is any issue we should pay attention to regarding who votes which way this is one. You can follow those things and let your congressional representatives know you are and how you feel about it. Our form of government does require an educated public. I just don't know if in fact this would reduce availability of drugs like Eliquis. I have used a Canadian pharmacy for the first time in my life for this drug and
another called Jublia, both of which are ridiculously expensive if you're on Medicare and in the donut whole.
