I am a COPD survivor of more than 20 years as of February 25th, 2020. I have less than 20% lung function and still going strong. I am a true miracle!

Netflix is raising prices on subscriptions again, despite record profits. Enough! We can't allow them to get rich while they slash services & raise costs.
Join me & sign the petition to demand Netflix stop the corporate greed & stop raising prices NOW ⬇️ sign.moveon.org/petitions/ne…

If there’s one thing I wish everybody knew about US healthcare, it would be the existence of pharmacy benefit managers. They are just as responsible for soaring drug prices as pharma, yet most people are oblivious to their actions. Truly incredible middlemanning effort by PBMs.

Online retailers are a fact of life these days, but when it comes to health, caveat emptor! Some products definitely end up on the naughty list with poor quality and no customer support. Don't mess with your breath! lnkd.in/d58QBaxq
