With parched throat, I stopped into the Indiana University police station hoping to find a water fountain. John, the officer-on-duty at the front desk, greeted me. “It’s a critical situation,” he told me. “Especially now that people are losing jobs. But keeping prices down is important. Even with the insured, prices are inflated, they’re sky-high.” I nodded in reply. “So, it’s hard to stay healthy if you can’t afford health care.”
