The US needs to get to universal health care, and a single payer is the best way to get there (see Bernie's Improved Medicare for All). Health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies are a big part of our inflated costs.
Big Pharma sets the prices of our drugs at levels that are unaffordable for many. Drug prices in the US are higher than any place else in the world. Why is this? Why do we tolerate this?
Come to see the documentary film "Big Pharma" at the Bennington Free Library on Tuesday 10/10/17 at 7:00. Get yourself motivated.
