The one thing I don’t like about this is that it is a total savings of 6 billion dollars but only 1.5B comes out of out of pocket costs, but it’s a win, regardless.

It’s all relative. If Medicare saves money here they will hopefully pass along the saving in other ways. I would rather the money stay with Medicare than go to drug companies.

He moved to Ohio but was born Kentucky? I think? I think the book is about Kentucky? I don’t know?

Edit: looked it up, he’s from Ohio. His family is from Kentucky.

TLDR, I’m a fucking clown and you should ignore me.

Hillbilly Elegy is a book about growing up in Ohio, full stop.

This is a good podcast ep about it from folks who read it so you don't have to. (Recorded prior to the VP nod, so especially interesting for where Vance stood in The Culture a couple years back)
