They i mean a lot of them you know i dont think that they really have any real experience with whats going on with people on a daily david day basis i mean you work alongside a lot of these government things is it really that big of a divide you know i mean we got out of debating because the majority of them dont actually they visit their districts in very small amounts of time typically around fund raising if were talking about senators before the most part theyre theyre getting bundled in bankrolled by large corporations and lobbyist so theres a very little connection between them in the places that they actually serve and the ear that is often listened to the most or that you know that spoken to the most is that of the lobbyist in the special interest not that of the everyday american i think that we resolve this definitely at the crash of 08 which i do think that president Obamas Administration did as much as they could could there been more obviously i think there was a lot of haggling between Congress Members at that time as well but this is all around its extremely egregious and crush rating because what we heard during the last round of checks was that it was the money was too much they. That still got much theres a disconnect between how much things cost today yes i think thats the biggest pressure in the rental cost for a one bedroom across this country have x. Astronomically risen over the past 5 years and with the original check money that with sent out it might have covered maybe 2 months of it thats not including any Health Care Costs or other things that people had and thats a bridge smart aleck youll suddenly hear politicians sit and talk about all day long how will giving you a little bit of money to help you through theres just too much 1200. 00 is too much youll be youll be on welfare all the time youll never want to go back to work and all of these excuses they use when its our money at the end of the day what theyre handing you back is your own money money that you already worked hard for and gave them to fund the government for situations like this its absolutely ridiculous yet at least 41000000 in federal systems has been awarded the more than a dozen major donors the Battle Campaign tens of thousands of Small Businesses which found it very hard to get these emergency funds that were set aside to them these businesses however businesses owned by members of congress they managed to land loans very quickly or by the family members of color their employee of miners applies suddenly oh and theyre ok you know it just gets pressure and because we continue to see that there are different rules for people who have connections but all new people who are wealthy a lot of the money that was given out wasnt necessarily to those that was struggling businesses many of those were businesses that existed that would even count to Small Business as we saw you know steak houses you know existed in the leg or a soup the money its a very fresh rating to the average american citizen when youre watching that happen it is i mean and then when you look at this Big Oil Bailout that the fed has now put put us into according to researchers 56. 00 oil and Gas Companies have issued 99300000000. 00 with the since the fed initiate its bailout of corporate debt markets back in march which is the 1st time the feds done Something Like this whether its just taking directly on that debt as of late august the central bank has purchased over 355000000 in fossil fuel bonds down. Wegner the editor or editor of bailout watch said quote this is prolonging the life of the fossil fuel industry at a time when it needs to be phased out for communities around the climate basically fossil fuel kind of stepped up and so the hey were struggling right now even before cobra there were struggling during cold less people driving but now he bail us out we need help like we would bail out the airlines at the exact same time that were hearing environmental activists around the globe including those here argue for reduction in fossil fuels argue for us to look to alternative forms of energy yet we continue to fund money into something that on the back end we already know is causing major environmental problems for us for the people. There were many shocking and cringe worthy moments at the 1st u. S. President ial debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President joe biden if you could get through the interruptions conspiracy theories and lies you might have found a few in lightning moments but that would have required you to get past the barrage of lies trump seems to not only to kill time and again but the types of lives that also put lives at risk during the debate in particular claimed his policies made insulin so cheap its like water but alternative facts dont seem to get in the way of trying to popularity on the issue a recent poll from the Kaiser Family foundation found that 46 percent of surveyed voters believe trump had a better plan to lower drug prices only 42 percent favored by plain for most people the drugs like insulin cost the same as before if not more in reality insulin the popular diabetes drug cost roughly 300. 00 a bottle in the United States most diabetics the 2. 00 to 3. 00 bottles per month and those with a ban stages of the disease require a whole lot more. Chump is campaigning on lowering drug prices but folks just havent seen that happen in the coburn 1000 hits or they just keep coming. With 51000000 americans unemployed and health care being tied to their jobs even those who had access to insulin before dont have it now the cost of insulin has forced many patients to resort to drug rationing which causes blood sugar levels to rise to fatal levels. But rest assured when there is market turmoil like in all things in underground market emerges in the underground insulin market a network of people with diabetes share any extra insulin they have free of charge. But just last year colorado was the 1st of 12 states to implement a cap on copayments for insulin but with the pandemic ravaging america the demand for insulin has gone up and Insurance Companies are taking advantage of it though its illegal to share Prescription Medications it should also be illegal to price gouge and allow the sick to die simply because they cannot afford medication i couldnt agree with you more the reason its illegal to share medications you dont want people exchanging drugs which we teach other than someone gets sick but at the same time making it so and godly expensive just for someone to be able to afford insulin something that absolutely positively without about in order to live is absolutely ridiculous no it is and i think that to put it into full context we have to recognize that the high price of Prescription Drugs is a talking point on both sides of the aisle whether were talking about donald trump or joe biden but the one differentiation we have to make here is that donald trump has been claiming for the past 2 and a half years that he has lowered Prescription Drug prices yet when people go to actually fill those prescriptions things havent changed for the most part there are some drugs like insulin that have actually gone up over the past couple of years and their costs in america as you know has the highest price for street Prescription Drugs of any nation on the globe and doesnt really have the. Positive Health Care Outcomes that you would expect to come from it and colbert 19 has only proven to exacerbate the issues that we already have around race around prejudice is systemic failures and i Health Care System so this is just completely falling apart and it breaks my heart that theres an underground market out there i mean im glad that people are saying you know what the hell with the other share theres a bar got extra im sure a woman neighbor who also needs it like im happy that theyre doing that im happy that its free of charge but what does that say about the country when thats the case i mean when you especially when you look at the percentages of people who are having to ration their insulin because of the very cost of you know absolutely so studies and surveys that show that one in 4 people are actually rationing their insulin and it stinks because at the end of the day blacks hispanics native americans or the people in this country that typically have diabetes more than anyone else theyre also the ones who have bad medical reactions at higher levels than anyone else a lot of this is contribute to living in food deserts not having access to quality or healthy food but the other part is you have a lot of minorities who typically dont have access to Quality Health insurance either so theyre not able to readily you know have their Blood Pressure checked have these insulin checks when they need to so theyre really dependent on a system that has failed them time and time again it. Really should have people should be really angry about this whether you have know someone with it here in the u. S. You probably do know someone with diabetes its pretty easy given the amount of sugar and corn syrup thats shoved down our throats every day its not its not a hard disease to suddenly do it but people should be very upset about this because no one should have to choose between their their food on the table or the medicine they need and that is ridiculous when we try to claim to be theirs great country absolutely and that is literally the question before many people right now they are whether they pay their food whether they pay rent whether they pay their utility bills because insulin is actually very expensive on average the majority of people who are in that higher tier of having serious that issues theyre taking between for the. 6 bottles a month so if youre talking 300. 00 to 400. 00 per bottle that is a lot of extra cash coming out and again with the unemployment levels being what they are right now even for those who had health care that covered it before they no longer have it because of the unemployment so it becomes very difficult you know it really hurts too because they always say the argument against like socialized medicine all that all that kills innovation and normal want to innovate because they cant make money on it you know to me its like are we really that horrible of a people that we cant say hey we can innovate in health care simply because we want to do good that we dont need to put a dollar value would tach to doing good in order to do it i mean come on lets step up and be the better angels of ourselves and fight back against this and get that throw the greed argument out of there and throw the money out of it and actually start passing laws do provide health care for people so these people dont have to go to the black market and choose between food and i like that you bring up the laws because according to the American Diabetes association 36. 00 additional states have introduced insulin copay legislation but the pandemic stalled all progress on them by a pandemic i also mean its an election cycle and pharmaceutical companies have paid certain campaigns insulin prices are high in the u. S. Because there are few if any limits that exist to regulate the pharmaceutical companies from jacking up the prices so this is one of those instances where regulation would really matter because it could make these drugs available to more people and were not going to see that regulation because theres too many people paid off in congress and local legislatures all by big pharma to ever begin to dream of really regulating exactly where the top 3 places. Politicians go after they leave congress thats not because theyre just really smart scientists who know a lot about. It really a couple of degrees.

R. Stunt joy or. Good show to showcase himself to all the friends were gathered outside the hospital ortiz ridge bloodworms joins us now live from walter reed with the details of this amazing week. Yeah thats right were out here where President Trump is now saying that he feels better than he has in 20 years after just a few days of treatment at the Walter Reed Medical Center were standing out here and just on the other side of this fence theres a chopper waiting to take him back to the white house now here now that he would be leaving on twitter where he also included his message a statement to say that americans should not be afraid of kobe 19 even as the death toll continues to increase here in the United States now what weve seen here outside of the hospital is a number of supporters that have gathered every single day that he has been admitted now trapped decided that he himself would take a break from the hospital on sunday and he was seen taking part in a motorcade parade of sorts where he was seen in the back seat of a car wearing a mask and waving at his supporters now that move was met with a lot of criticism from many who say that the secret Service Agents who were involved had their health but it risks that criticism included a message from an attending physician out walter reed who took to twitter to write every Single Person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary president ial drive by just now has to be quarantined for 14 days they might get sick they may die for political theater commanded by trying to put their lives at risk for theatre this is insanity now so far we know the terms press secretary and multiple aides have tested positive for kobe had 19 but the white house says it has no plans to release the exact numbers of Staff Members who have also contracted the virus meanwhile trump has been very vocal on twitter and in his latest video he said that he has learned a lot during his time in the hospital take a listen. So its been a very interesting journey i learned a lot about kovi i learned it by really going to school. This is the real school this is in the lets read the book school and i get it and i understand it and its a very interesting thing going to be letting you know about it in the meantime we love the usa and we love whats happening.
