with your life and this is in the early 60s, late 50s, and she came back to school one day and said mrs. lee, i decided i'm going to become a teacher. she made up her mind and she was very excited about it. but her mother was from a generation where she felt that a woman's place is in the home, and that her one daughter should aspire to be a wife and a mother, and nothing else. so, her mother never encouraged that aspect of her. and they really had some bitter arguments about it. as she grew up and went through, jr. hi and high school. even going through college when she decided she wanted to go to law school, there wasn't that foundational support from her mom. but she persisted through that. that was a very early on -- very personal aspect of that persistence. >> and in fact what you say about her mother, she did internalize it. she did drop out of college at the age of 19 to get married, so there had to be some grain of that that stayed with her. >> right. there was a message coming from home, of course, and also from society from high school, i write quite a bit about the betty crocker h

mr. lee: americans know all too well the crippling cost of health care in our country today. on top of the daily struggles that ordinary families have to put food on the table, skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs are getting harder and harder to meet. pharmacists gag rules are only making matters worse for the american people. much, much worse. these contract clauses between pharmacies on the one hand and insurers and pharmacy benefit managers on the other prevent pharmacists from telling customers they can save money on prescriptions by paying with cash instead of using their insurance. pharmacists are actually prohibited under these clauses from helping their customers to get their best price for their medications. this is absurd and it's harmful. according to a recent study, about 23% of all drug claims in 2013 involved overpayments, amounting to more than $135 million. who pockets those extra dollars? it's not ordinary americans. it's of course the insurers and the benefit managers. in other words, the pharma middle men you might say. we all agree this is a problem,
