Skyrocket is still the Word

Last night I enjoyed the July 4 fireworks, "Feuerwerk" in a jam-packed public park with friends. We spoke German and English and kept our umbrellas handy for the light rain. It was a magnificent display. 

​Skyrocket is still the go-to word for soaring drug prices. A skyrocket is a type of firework that rises quickly before delivering. Here's a piece from the Skyrocket collage series. It includes texts from drug formulary exclusions and currency and is, for obvious reasons, on a paper tube. Let's light the sky with solutions and ingenuity. Let's be driven by access for patients and research support instead of shareholders and corporate control.
