Complain to Congress you say. It is bought off. A reported army of 1440 lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry is in Washington DC. The pharmaceutical industry spend $280 million on lobbying Congress in 2018. That amounts to a half-million dollars per member of Congress. BOUGHT OFF: Why You Don’t Hear About Low-Cost Natural Remedies In The News

To be perfectly honest Batch, I've had no use for politics or gub'mint since they sent 50,000 young men like you and I both were at the time to fight and die in a war under false pretenses.....just to put another dime in their feckin pockets!! And it's the same damn thing here.....big pharma, tobacco, insurance, ect own all of them! IMHO, only 2 scenarios can bring about any meaningful change to the quagmire we're in......term limits, ain't no way Congress is passing that......and armed insurrection, and we both know that things are gonna get real ugly with that option before it gets better....if it does in fact get better!! IDK, there's been several times in the past couple years that I wish I'd made the choice to go to Canada instead of Nam! Hell, I've taken to turning the news on when I know it's just about time for the weather so I dont have to hear about all the bullshit that's goin on!! DD

Batch, I have a M.D. friend who works in the big pharma industry. "Remember", he tells me, "healthy people and dead people are not profitable!"

Income for a congressman is 175k to 225k for the speaker. They are all multi millionaires, you can go online and see how much money big pharma, oil and gass, doctors groups and hospitals give them to stay uninvolved. It is a shame.
