Frey for TexasThis is why I always keep an eye on C-SPAN. Biden gave a great speech today about the costs of Healthcare and medications - none of the top cable outlets covered it live.

But drug companies have increased prices for asthma drugs up to eight times more than the original cost. Another company sells an inhaler for $9 in Germany. $9 in Germany, and paid $286 here in the United States. Nine bucks in Germany, same outfit, same company, same device.

They want to terminate the Affordable Care Act. I love it, terminate. Today, 21 million Americans are covered through the Affordable Care Act, nine million more than when I took office.
