As prescription drug costs skyrocket in the US, thousands of people are forced to forgo lifesaving medications — all while manufacturers and health care facilities systematically destroy perfectly good, surplus pills. Kiah Williams shares how SIRUM — a nonprofit that delivers unused medications to families who need them most — plans to drive down prescription prices by recycling almost a billion dollars’ worth of medications in the next five years. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

Real heroes saving lives. I love it.
If you need to choose between paying for medications and paying the rent/bills.. then you probably need to get a second or third job.
This is just a load of emotional arguments, what it boils down to is that people want "free stuff" or at least have to work less to get what they want or need.
The only thing I can see is people moaning and complaining about something the want, but they dont make the effort to achieve it.
Go work, work hard! No excuses, no complaints.

Does anyone else think she's super attractive?
Hello socialists!
Thank goodness for President Trump's concerted efforts to reduce prescription costs. He has taken this issue on unlike any other President, not to mention his "right to try" order.
Yes but you and I pay taxes and the person who is supposed to help us gets the best treatment that none else can get in the world and he does not care if we have money to pay for bills, rent or medications! He just want his judge to be appointed no matter what ! Not once he said sorry for all the people who we lost due to Covid !! Under his watch !! Shame ! Shame ! On him and all around him !!!
What about all the people who have money for cigarettes, beer, scratch off tickets or drugs, but not money for their bills or medication?

I absolutely love this! I find it crazy that doctors swear an oath to protect lives, yet this path doesn’t apply to poor people. I didn’t even know that many medications are discarded; this company is amazing.
Any branch or concerning office in India.. please explain about this facilities..
I have invested with some scam brokers in the past, and the story is as horrific as the ones i have read because i went through the ordeal myself. I lost almost $80,000 USD to this unfortunate brokers, a friend referred me to Mr Richard Nelson that got me 80% of my money back, plus my accrued bonuses. Please stay clear of these scammers and if you have lost money you can still get your money back if you really want to, you can reach out to Richard Nelson via Telegram @richardn44 he will definitely help you in getting back your lost funds to any broker….. as mine was recovered too
Is it safe to use shortdated medication?

Great idea! Sounds like a real problem solver for so many. May this system grow and grow. We really need this. God Bless!

The social determinants of health …
People don't donate their medication they donate food And if your on medication you don't donate blood! And don't donate plasma! Go to the food shelf
101 people: uhh actually they should have to die unable to pay for life saving treatments and drugs. They just should have worked a fifth job with such a condition
How often do people overdose on medication and alcohol?! How often do people have seizures after a couple of missed doses of medication?!
