    Two of my children have Type 1 and the cost is unbelievable to sustain their medication needs. Please stop the price gauging for medication that keeps my kids alive each day.

    Stop the madness, how much greed & gluttony is protected over human life value?? Do something, stand for something, do your job which is to represent the people not corporate. Be a part of the solution by not continuing to support the problem.

    I am a retired pharmacist on Medicare with Part D Medicare Prescription coverage. I am Type 2 diabetic on insulin.I am insulin resistant. My part D premiums increase every year by at least 10%.I reach the doughnut hole after 2 to 4 months and am in that phase for 2 to 3 mon.,then I am eligible for catastrophic coverage, but with insulin prices so high, I'm still paying a significant amount every month for two different insulins. These insulins have been around for a long time, but are still classified as Tier 3 drugs. Medicare needs to start negotiating with drug companies for lower prices, just like the VA does. I don't buy the drug companies argument that they spend huge amounts on research, when a lot of research money comes from government grants. They probably spend more on advertising. For example, why would a drug company need to advertise for EPI-pens, a medication that's been available for years! The drug companies need to be reined in or people will not take needed drugs and become very I'll or in the worst case-die.
