Healthcare crisis

We need quality, affordable healthcare, just like they have in any other civilized country. My husband has severe psoriasis. The insurance company recently notified us that for the first three injections, we have to pay $2,798.28, and thereafter $200 per month out of pocket.

We have Medicare and a supplementary insurance. We pay $110 per month for Medicare and $320 per month supplementary per person. This is outrageous!
