This makes me very, very sad

NYTimes article that makes my stomach knot. Yet another indicator of just how completely backwards our government and health care system is. I am someone who takes prescription drugs every single day, drugs that are fortunately very affordable because they are essential for my well being. I am also someone who has family that takes important prescription drugs every day in order have a good quality of life. It deeply saddens me that there are people in our country who are unable to have equal access to life prolonging medicines and are forced to say no to them so that they can maybe still afford to live in their houses.
