The first thing is that right now there is talk about certain medications that may or may not work with COVID-19. I know that the evidence is preliminary, but many people who have drug plans or are able to afford it have gone out and stockpiled those medications. Many of those most vulnerable people who may have the highest exposure rate cannot afford these medications. I think that a national pharmacare strategy for all of our citizens, especially those who are most in need, is significantly important, not only for issues like COVID-19 but for any illness.
I know of people who have to pay out of pocket, and when we give them medication that's prescribed for four times a day or twice a day, they only take it once a day or at half the recommended dose to make it last longer, because they can't afford it, and that's under normal circumstances. The vulnerable populations are much more exposed to issues like this. They are sometimes forced to work because they need to work, and they expose themselves to COVID-19. For them, this is of the utmost importance.
