1. Prescription drug pricing needs to be in it

Wife paid 100 dollars for inhalers because of the "donut hole" clause.

11. So sorry to hear that but I understand. That same hole makes me pay aprox. $ 250.00 a month

Half of the year for one medication. I'd really rather bank that money and I imagine you would, too.

12. You have my sympathy

I finally had to find inhalers through Canada pharmacies or go without. I stocked up with as many as I could. The prices here are outrageous and many just keep increasing in price even when there is no change in the medication.

2. Rx drugs "in flux"? Hyperventilating and trying not to. nt

3. My wish list president.

5. You, me & tons of others. He'd make a wonderful president,

or VP...

4. Good excitement or bad excitement?

6. Stop talking and start voting.

This unending undulating stream of good news/bad news on whether they have come to an agreement is embarrassing and frustrating.

7. Too bad some people here at DU

couldn't be in on the ZOOM.

9. No kidding

The panicking here today has been palpable. They're very close to a deal, just ironing out some details and a vote will hapen.

10. I'm a democrat and socialist and I know the democrats won't do shit. Oh, but

they're hopeful.

[Moebym]

15. It's actually two in the Senate and a handful in the House

Everyone else is on board. But sure, blame the entire party for not being able to get anything done.

And don't forget that your beloved Progressive Caucus isn't exactly a completely innocent party here.

13. The noun "flux" describes something that constantly changes.

A state of uncertainty about what should be done. in flux. Apt to change or fluctuate; prone to instability. Interesting choice of words.

14. By the end of the day one of the two Katzenjammer Kids will shoot it down

[Rebl2]

16. Yep

[pecosbob]

17. It's becoming even more reliable than Susan Collins' concern.

18. If we can drastically reduce prescription drug pricing

It should help us increase our membership in both houses during the midterms. Plus reQublicOns will be
raising holy hell about how unfair we are to the pharmaceutical companies attempting to run them out of
business. Good, they'll walk right into the trap that we'll use against them in the 2024 election..........
