I like the views on actual ideas of solutions to give Democrats "teeth". Thank you for the Republicans point of view to fight Trump and his administration.
Look into Medicare Advantage plans and Medicaid if you haven’t already.
Advantage plans by themselves can be real scams, but they can have very low to zero premiums (plus a lot of extra benefits, like debit cards to pay for OTC things), and Medicaid will cover all copays and coinsurance. It also pays the Medicare premium, which will put around $174/month back in your pocket.
If you only have Medicare, apply for the “Extra Help” program. That caps medication copays at around $11. Medicaid will eliminate even that.
There are also drug discount programs like GoodRx that can be helpful in some cases, and programs like NeedyMeds may be able to supply you with medications you can’t otherwise afford either for free or at greatly reduced prices.
Another great episode guys!
Appreciate y’all’s support!

In linguistic terms, this is rhetorical terrorism—language used not to persuade but to destroy a society’s ability to reason.
