..This is why my neph quit practicing medicine to go into politics try to get help for paying the high drug prices...He told me at my last visit with him he said"The transplant used to be the hardest part, now paying for the drugs to maintain it is the hardest " and he hopes to make a differance in transplant and dialysis patients.Helping to make it more affordable to get antirejection drugs and for dialysis treatments...Thank you Dr.leftler!! gonna miss you!!  :2thumbsup;....I have to work 50 to 60hrs  a week to make ends meet and to make sure i have money to buy these expensive pillz...even with insurance...Chris73  God Bless!!

I wish him well with his new project.  I can only imagine how frustrating this issue must be for a neph.
