    The only reason they can charge $1,000 for epi pens is because Obama pays $1,000 for them. The trick is coming to that realization.

    Sure.

    If I were able to bill whatever I want, I would. If the government pays, I win. If they pay me half of the really big amount, I still win.

    People aren't fools.

    The patients don't care because it's not their money.

    Sooooooo GTFO.

    Drops mic.

    People have been having a hard time understanding why anyone would "waste" their vote voting for Gary Johnson. My wife and friends think I'm crazy and "throwing" my vote away. It's hard to articulate in words they can understand, so I just tell them I'm tired of business as usual and it's time for a change. The response in general has been that it won't make any difference whatsoever. But change has to begin sometime and somewhere. I recently picked up the new book, " Bobby Kennedy, The Making of a Liberal Icon". I'm not trying to sell a guy who has been gone almost 50 years, but I found a quote that not only resonates with me, but perfectly (if a little wordy) explains why I'm voting for a third party candidate......."Each time a man stands up for an ideal, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." It's time for real change. It's time to give America back to all citizens. But if every voter buys into the absolute bullshit that a vote for Johnson is a vote for Clinton or Trump (depending on what shill you listen to), then change will never happen and politics as usual will continue, as will the great divide in America. As I have already stated for the record, for the first time in a presidential election I feel my vote will actually matter, if for no other reason that it will send a message to those who are bending us over a post every time we turn around that the dynamics are changing and their time at the trough is growing short. Better to vote for Johnson than sit out an election because the two "main" candidates suck. America can't change for the better if we won't let it......drops mic......

    So why is Johnson better than Jill Stein or Evan McMullen, in your opinion?

    For one thing...Stein isn't really invested in her candidacy...she offered it to Bernie Sanders and he didn't give her a response. For another....her followers will be too stoned to know what day it is when time to vote rolls around......or it'll conflict with a Phish concert in the Redwoods.

    If you can get your Johnson in, sure. But I think you are pushing a wet noodle.

    I can state firmly that my Johnson can give this country a good Rogering.
