". . . "Tonight as we speak right now, 500,000 Americans are sleeping out on the street, and yet companies like Amazon that made billions in profits did not pay one nickel in federal income tax," he said.

He's right, according to an analysis of corporate filings put out by the progressive think tank Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP.)

"We pay more for prescription drugs than any place, actually, in the world. We’ve got nothing to show for it," Bullock said during a round of questions about health care.

Close. Americans pay more for drugs than people in any other developed country in the world, CNBC reported, citing recent studies.

"When I went to Canada the other day, people paid 1/10th the price of insulin that they’re paying in the U.S," Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed Tuesday night.

Americans do pay 10 times more than Canadians for insulin, according to the reports documenting Americans who drive across the border to purchase the lower-priced insulin. The cost of insulin for treating Type 1 diabetes nearly doubled between 2012 and 2016, according to the nonprofit Health Care Cost Institute.

Sanders flubbed one of his regular talking points — that three people have more wealth than the bottom half of the nation.

We've fact checked the original talking point before, and it’s true that three people — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett — are estimated to have more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of the American population, according to a report by the left-leaning think tank Institute for Policy Studies.

Convenience . . .

Received an email that says:

"Don't run out: Refill or renew these prescriptions.

Prescription     Status

 

Rx#:  XXXX6612    Ready for refill

Refill now

Log in now to refill or renew your prescriptions. If your prescription needs to be renewed, we can contact your healthcare professional to authorize the renewal. . ."

So I go to the website to take advantage of this wonderful convenience. I see the recent order status and recent prescriptions.  The name of the family member to whose whose medical plan I have been added is listed with a prescription history.  But I don't see mine. Then at the bottom I see, "Looking for a family member?" under which my name does appear. Next to my name it says, "RAYMOND must register with this website individually and grant you access to prescription information via "My Account."" 'Wonderful,' I say to myself.  I click on 'My Account.' The drop-down menu shows,

    Manage Personal Information
    Change User Name and Email
    Update Address
    Edit Payment Information
    Select Communication Preferences
    Designate a Caregiver
    Read My Messages

My Account

Manage your personal and account information.

I finally find "Create an online account."  I fill out ALL the blanks and push 'enter.'  I receive a message that says:
"User name is already in use

CONVENIENT???                 NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
