a lot of us have issues with the pharmaceutical industry and with good reason. The prices of prescription drugs in the United States is outrageous and people are dying because they can't afford their medication.

That said, I will give them credit when it is due and I am glad to hear they came up with a rapid testing procedure. That does not, however, absolve them of years of price gouging at patients' expense. I did not support Bernie Sanders for president, but he was right on this one.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
