And why I hope there are other Player 2's out there in the world keeping watch over the health insurance and pharma price gougers, because we know definitively that the Republicans and Democrats aren't going to do a goddamn thing.

No doubt it’s also cheaper on Amazon if that is even feasible in that mess. But I don’t blame the victim for not going to Amazon when his provider fucked him.
