My son has been taking thyroid meds at highest price and for the first I paid a reasonable price and I almost fainted because even with insurance the prescription was $130 and now $30. So as a Republican, thank you.

I was let go from my job of 29+ years and wouldn’t have had health insurance if not for “Obama Care”. Thanks to all who made it possible.

Price gouging on prescription drugs is even worse when you account for the public funding that went into research to make those drugs possible. The NIH funds these research, yet the pharmaceutical companies privatize their profits. This needs to stop.

Joe look so rested and refreshed and his voice is so strong

I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😢 #joe 💙

I live in Canada and am a senior. I don't have to pay more than a hundred a year. Americans need to stop tinkering around the edges and vote for medical care for all like the rest of the first world.

This ahow of decency and solidarity gives me hope.

Worked for a pharmaceutical company and in every meeting they mentioned that they could recupe the costs of European countries giving medicine for free, from the US.
Time the US stops this price gouging.

A message from Europe 🇪🇺 I remember the occasion of Obama presenting him and surprising him with the medal of freedom; Joe Biden couldn't help but tearing up. Today, watching him, it was my turn to shed tears. And this was the Joe Biden I know. Thank you, Joe ! 🇩🇪

I’m 39 years old and I’ve been hit with an autoimmune disease with my pancreas. Just one prescription (zenpep) cost almost $5k a month for 300 capsules. That’s $60k a year for 1 medicine and a little over $16. Per capsule. We need lower cost for prescriptions ASAP!

He is a great example of a decent man, and a servant of the public

You can see how much Kamala truly loves President Biden. And I think she's picked a running mate who is very much like him. Kind, empathetic, and a true patriot.

[RohbVogue]

The amount of pride I feel watching these two amazing humans stuns me. The joy is real because I don't feel that specter of gloom, doom, and lies constantly hanging over my head. Thank you, Joe! Thank you, Kamala!

[rosemariejoseph]

How novel. A president who gives credit to others. A president with a sense of humor. A president who doesn’t need to denigrate others. A president.

[gregorehorror]

His joke where he got Donald Trump's name wrong on purpose, "Donald Dump" I think he said, that was good, he joked on his own age and Trump's purposeful mispronouncing of Kamala's name, that was so good 😂

Wonder how many bottles of wine she had to drink just to get up on that stage? 3? 4? 🍷
