So my significant other went to buy her prescriptions today, without health insurance. 3 = $900. [View All]

One for cholesterol, two for blood pressure. One was even generic. They told her at CVS it would be $900. She just lost her job, and is 58. You want to see the nightmare that the health insurance industry, PhRMA, Glenn Beck, Faux News and most of all the Rethuglicans would foist on us? Try buying prescriptions without health insurance. Nine hundred freaking dollars for three one-month prescriptions.

These are their dreams, and goals: Mandatory insurance for all, no teeth in any enforcement about pre-existing conditions, 5-1 age rating, endless patent hoarding for the drug industry, no laws to rein them in, and EVERY law to rein in us citizens to pay them the largest transfer of wealth in history.

Thank you, Sen. Baucus, for making their dreams come true. Meanwhile, what is she to do? What every American does in this era. Go without.

Wish we had an FDR now. I love Obama, but he's Casper Milquetoast, and I for one am sick of it.
