Setting aside the Democrat/Republican **** for minute, I have to ask why 6 Senators didn't vote for it. Is it lobbying by pharmaceutical companies? Is Partisian showboating? The official reason given was that it wasn't part of the federal budget. Whats the unofficial reason? There are way too many people having to pay hundreds of dollars for a bottle that only cost $6 to make. Countless parents are trying to assist their Type I diabetic children.
And before someone posts a link to GoodRx, Keep in mind that they offer a one time deal on it.
What if the pharmaceutical company says "screw you" and slashes production?
