Thanks. I wrote to my representatives in Congress and like you emphasized the Sickle Cell aspect. Because it is a disease that is, I think, known and certainly more known than PV, as an example.
I like the specifics in your letter so I will be following up using your draft.

I'll confess: Until I did some research, I had no idea generic drugs represent 90% of every prescription filled in the U.S., nor that only 10% of them are made in this country.

It is extremely unlikely American companies will ever manufacture these low-profit drugs. So tariffs on them will come straight out of our pockets, first in higher prices, next in higher health care premiums.

The highest cost will be the toll on our health.

Warmest thanks to everyone who contacts her or his representatives about this! It will only take a few moments of your time.
