    Yes. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with it. No voting people in or out of the system have changed it. No, we’re not content with it, and we’re envious that other places don’t have to deal with this. This isn’t an endorsement of voter apathy, it’s just that any politician using big pharma reform as a part of their campaign are lying or unsuccessful in their efforts.

      I definitely share your frustration… That said, there is some progress - see e.g. The price caps on insulin put in place this year, or the ACA reaching a bit further back – and I think it’s worth recognizing (and recognizing how we got it). Still a very long way to go and it’s an uphill battle unfortunately.
