Interesting to see the detail on this, specifically the named advisors. Thank you.
If you have it at your fingertips, I’m curious to know the proportion of healthcare cost increases from drug cost increases.
As I understood it, healthcare industry, & specifically insurers, were the largest contributors to Obama’s campaigns. Are they also significant contributors to HRC’s?
Hope you are doing well. I’m again on the East Coast, the good news is that my mother us doing much better.
Best,
Ron
