The better to not have to spend money on Social Security and Medicare for too many people. The better for Republicans to be the only ones voting after the age of 60. . Was a time pantihose used to be treated with chemicals to make them run after only a few wearings. This is the same thing... they want a good till date on the poor and middle class. We knew a lone corporation was capable of such tricks, or a whole industry, but I doubt Americans expected it from their government and Healthcare. At least not the ones who were fooled into voting Trump.
(Full disclosure my mom would cut off a leg of pantihose that had a run it it then save the good led and panty. When she had two of them she'd put them on, one over the other, and the pantihose would live another wearing. Mark Cuban has an all important workaround on meds but i don't know that he can get access to novel meds under patent. Still we need to think of workarounds for the more serious issue of healthcare).
