Prescription drug costs need lowered

Will someone please ask our Republican Congressman Smith and Republican Senators Hawley and Smith why they always vote against lowering our medical costs by forbidding the country from negotiating the price of our drugs, fixing the cost of insulin at $25 per month and capping the cost of medical bills for seniors at $2,000. For 20 years, the Republicans have said they would fix medical mess. Of course, they have not produced one bill to do that. I wished they’d get out of the way and let the Democrats represent our interests here in Missouri.

* * *

For 30 years, politicians have promised to lower the price of medications, Trump included. Biden has done it. Now the alternative-fact Republicans are calling it socialistic. If their lips are moving, they’re lying. Biden is making Big Pharma priced with competition. That is the American way. Competition will lower the price of drugs for every American just like every other developed country in the world.

Friendly customer service wanted

Yes, I’m calling concerning a local pharmacy. I don’t understand with so much competition in Sikeston why the girls that work there get an attitude if you call to check on medicine or ask a question. You would think they would be thankful for having customers. I think the management needs to look into this and tell his workers they need to be more friendly to people who they are getting business from.

Deadly policies

Biden’s policies are killing people: people dying in the deserts of the southwest border, people drowning in the rivers on the southwest border, people dying in Afghanistan, people dying from drug overdoes. The man is the worst President of all time. Biden should be impeached immediately.

Empty promises

Trump promised to balance the budget but left office after running up one of the highest debts in US history. Republicans spend but never pay. They believe you just shut down the government and don’t pay your bills. That’s the Trump way. They will always be standing there, though, with their hand out when the money is to be spent and claim credit for projects they had nothing to do with raising the money for. The zombies will never figure that out.
