“I have another example here from a gentleman in Middle Village in Queens, New York, another constituent. He has to purchase efudex. He paid $104 in New York, which is the going rate. He did a lot of shopping around. His daughter brought back the same prescription for him when she was visiting Ireland, and she paid only $13 for the two; and that is without any insurance whatsoever. The price of $13 and go over to the other side of the Atlantic and it is $104. Again, just the constituents alone. We are grateful to do the studies. We do not have to do these studies to find out. We just listen to our constituents, and they will tell us exactly what these findings are saying. There is something wrong here in this country. And the work that the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Allen) and the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Thurman) are doing to pass this bill, which is so important to the people of this country, I really do applaud them all and all those people in this Congress who are supporting this measure. It is really what the American people want to see happen right now.”
