We shouldn't be waiting for a magic pill. Minor policy changes can be made to tip the scales in the right direction... just as minor policy changes were made that tipped the scales in the wrong direction.

Not now, the meds are too expensive. But once they go off-patent, they will help a big percentage of people that need it.

Idk....my insurance refuses to cover the generic of most meds but will happily cover the name brand.....so I am paying over 400$ in some cases.

I honestly thing it would be cheaper to make my own meds if their wasn't so much restrictions on that
