Blue Man in a Red State, by Greg Lemon: on Drugs


Congress should ease drug prices for seniors

He loaded a bus of senior citizens and drove them across the border into Canada to buy prescription drugs. Pharmaceutical companies were charging nearly twice as much in America as in Canada. It didn't make any sense that these companies were lining their pockets off the elderly. He meant to draw attention to the program and shame Congress into addressing the issue.
