Democrats and Republicans on Monday finally agreed on an issue that everyday Ohio citizens have known for some time: Prescription costs and the greedy drug industry are out of control and action is needed. Following Sunday night’s brutal “60 Minutes” program about how the drug industry killed the efforts of the Drug Enforcement Agency to stop the opioid epidemic, President Donald Trump railed on the drug industry during a Cabinet meeting.
