1. Reduced drug prices would be huge, especially for

Medicare patients. We have paid $100/ month for a prescription for my husband that his best friend was paying $6 / month for because he qualified for a manufacturer’s discount not available to anyone covered by Medicare.

2. Yes, the system must change.

Medicine should not be a luxury item.

3. Have you noticed on tv the anti ads already started?

Older lady is saying they say it's negotiation, but it's going to limit drugs I can get. Tell Congress. Something like that. Pharma is already afraid they will lose some of their profits. They're starting early. I've seen the ad a number of times this week. They'lll crank out more about how much it will hurt seniors to negotiate drug prices.

4. No, I have not seen any yet.

Not surprised though, and we must fight them. It is the right thing to do and should help keep Republicans out of power.

5. I noted that too. That ad was already in the can and ready to go.

Big Pharma ain’t going to give up their huge profits without a fight!

6. What she isn't saying is something is wrong with the old way

When it's IN THE LAW that you can't even negotiate. How can you know Medicare is paying a good price if it's against the law to negotiate? One of my drugs, the GENERIC version of it, one 3 month supply, is more expensive than the year's worthof all my other meds combined.
