Kiah Williams : You shouldn't have to choose between filling your prescriptions and paying bills

You shouldn’t have to choose between filling your prescriptions and paying bills

Summary

I had strongly believed that people were overdosing, though, it might be wrong.

The speaker tells us that many people die every month because they don’t take the medicines that they need. The new system that the speaker started paying attention to is that prescription drug prices is too high. 1) There are many surplus pills thrown away in some companies and it can be used yet. 2) By using smartphones, patients can register and access prescriptions for those medicines quickly, 3) and it's directly delivered to customers. They don’t need to go to hospitals and stores. 4) It leads to reducing prices.

To change the existing health care system is difficult and complex and the speaker’s new system does not pretend to have all of the answers to fix all of the problems in the health care system. Just people who are busy, give up getting medicines, but who need it to live.
