Heard today on MSNBC: Big Pharma- a one month supply of Ozempic costs $.89-$5.00 to manufacture, sells for $150 in Canada and $1000 in the USA.
You, your health plan or Medicare with RX coverage, the govt is paying these outlandish prices. And you can pay for it in the Medicare donut hole. No good for our National or personal budgets. Senator Sanders says he’ll do something about it.
Another med even more crazy: Actemra $5k per month to treat Temperal Arteritis…😳
Remember a month or so ago when I split my scalp open and got an ambulance ride to the ER and a CT scan and an EKG and some staples whacked into my head? The bill came.
It was $200.
Well, that was my out-of-pocket. The actual bill was $4,598.37.
Well, that’s what the insurance company paid by contract. The actual actual bill was $25,546.25.
It’s like I got a twenty-five grand bonus just because I have a job.
The American medical system is insane.
Still waiting on the ambulance invoice.

Amit Soussana was a lawyer, and the first time I saw her on video was in an unbelievable video from Oct 7 where 8 armed men! are dragging her to G@za as she is fighting them with strength and courage that I cannot even comprehend, beating her to stop fighting, all the while - she is not even fully dressed!
Next, I see her after her return from being in captivity, starting to talk anywhere for the release of the other kidnapped that are still there.
And now, she came out - with the same unimaginable bravery - speaking of the sexu@l buse she went through, and I feel that she is doing that for the women left behind who are still going through the same, or worse, and for the other women who came back and are incapable of sharing what was done to them by H@mas.

I can promise you that.

@ivebeensetonfire @BrianJopek If Christianity truly existed today, they would be completely opposed to Corrupt Trump, which does not seem to be the case. Instead the movement seems bent on establishing a North American Christian Theocracy and destroying the idea behind the United States of America to do so. 🤔
I just read the original piece in Hebrew. It was very hard to read. An Israeli ex-hostage shares the details about how she was tortured and sexually assaulted in Hamas captivity. Think what you will about the conflict and the war, take the side of whoever you want to take - but read this. And if you still think that hamas is a legitimate form of resistance or even a legitimate organization then you have much more pressing issues that you should deal with than the war in the middle east.

#RIP Joe Lieberman, independent four-term U.S. senator from Connecticut who was the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000, becoming the first Jewish candidate on the national ticket of a major party, died March 27 in New York City. He was 82.
The cause was complications from a fall, his family said in a statement.”
“To use the authority of the Dept of #Justice to overturn the election, based on a #lie, w/ no concerns that the dept had no evidence of fraud that affected the election — & Mr. Clark didn’t have any evidence either — what Mr. Clark was attempting to do was essentially a #coup at the #DOJ,” said Hamilton P. ‘Phil’ Fox III, lead prosecuting atty for the DC Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
