Continued thread

For decades, #BigPharma fought to block #Medicare from directly negotiating lower #DrugPrices for seniors & other Medicare beneficiaries, while nearly 3 in 10 #Americans struggle to #afford their #medications because of #cost. President #Biden & Congressional #Democrats finally beat Big Pharma & allowed Medicare to directly negotiate lower drug prices by passing the #InflationReductionAct – despite ZERO #Republicans voting in favor of the bill.

In her book, The #Reluctant Gardener (1952), she wrote,

With #Flowers, as w/ all [things] #Garden, you 1st decide what #Kind you #Want to #Grow, & then whittle it down to what CAN grow in the space.

When you [Review] the #List & Reduce it to what you can #Afford to grow,
& then #Eliminate the ones you know from #Bitter #Experience will #Refuse to grow,
You #Save a very #Great deal of labour, indeed.
