Our Rx plan could be so much better! All of us will grow old and will need prescription/treatment program at some point in our lives or our loved ones.

We live in the wealthiest country with the most crappiest healthcare and outcomes amongst OECD countries (https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/31/health/us-health-care-spending-global-perspective/index.html#:~:text=US%20spends%20most%20on%20health%20care%20but,outcomes%20among%20high%2Dincome%20countries%2C%20new%20report%20finds.&text=The%20data%20showed%20that%20in%202021%20alone%2C,in%20South%20Korea%2C%20New%20Zealand%20and%20Japan.). Isn't this sad?

There is no rhyme or reason why prescription costs vary from hospital to hospital, from borough to borough, or from insurance plan to insurance plan. Good health is a human right, just like access to food and clean water.

Yawn. Your healthcare scare tactics are not gaining any traction. Just like your pension scare tactics. Another weak attempt to stir excitement on a non issue.
