Drugmakers are seeking to block laws that would give the U.S. government authority to negotiate prices for prescription medicines. Current U.S. law bars the government's Medicare health insurance program from negotiating drug prices directly.

Many of the Democrats opposing an ambitious drug reduction bill proposed in the House of Representatives are among some of the biggest recipients of drug manufacturer lobbying funds.

They include Senators Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and Representative Scott Peters of California, OpenSecrets data covering industry donations through September of 2021 shows. In all, they have received around $1 million in pharmaceutical and health product industry donations this year.

The only way to fix it is to get money out of politics.

PS, How many RepubliCons voted in favor of reducing the cost of prescription drugs? You guessed it. ZERO.

I support businesses being able to make money off their inventions. The governemnt has NO business controlling the pricing of healthcare.
 
NOW this is a convo?

You know Trump had began lowering prices and also making hospitals list thier prices and compete with each other?

Essential meds like insulin went way down and became affordable. Biden canceled it and people probably went back to insulin hoarding. And media lies about it.

I remember trying to explain to a M4A supporter that isnt it at LEAST a good thing to bring costs DOWN before dumping tons of more money into it? They didnt think so.

And no he doesnt support killing for a profit. He just doesnt support the government being involved in our medical care so they can kill for profit as well. Because that's what they do, you know. They dont care about us or our health. They are never gonna....either.
 
You will remember Biden removed Trump's price reductions on medications in his first few hours in office.
 
In other news mass illegal immigration keeps getting allowed by Democrats. They openly call for it thus depressing wages in the US, causing rental costs for the working class to go up, and spreading disease as so many are infected with covid and other diseases. Biden just let's them all in.

And its a catch 22 for everyone in the country. DemocRATs will call for business to be confiscated for hiring illegals, meaning they believe illegals shouldnt work, meaning WE have to pay em all welfare! PWN3D!

at tricking the public into believing that his administration will make meaningful changes to prescription drug prices. As usual, the president tried to circumvent Congress and give the appearance of making significant changes through a rushed and lackluster executive order. This column provides an overview of the Trump administration’s attempts to use executive authority to appear to take action on lowering drug prices and explains how this most recent order is nothing but another example of bluster on prescription drug prices without delivering for the American people.

Could you post comparisons between the numbers of people Trump deported vs the numbers Biden has deported. Thanks.

Yeah. An opinion. Just like your claim that Trump lowered prices.

Biden is deporting about 10% of the people Trump did. Also Biden's open borders policy is expected to allow 2.1 million illegals in from Jan 20th to Dec 31st of this year. The previous worst year was 2000 when 1.6 million came in. As of 2018 the number was down to just 400,000.

Biden is ending all meaningful enforcement of immigration laws. Democrats are desperate to import more voters since actual U.S. citizens don't like them.
 
From the CATO link:

The number of monthly removals, also known as deportations, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has dropped to 2,962 in April 2021 from a recent high of 28,118 in October 2019. President Trump’s changes in immigration enforcement policies can explain 90 percent of the drop in removals over that time while actions taken during the Biden administration can explain about 10 percent of the drop.

are a stark example of how Mr. Biden — who declared on Feb. 2 that his goal was to “undo the moral and national shame of the previous administration” — is deploying some of the most aggressive approaches to immigration put in place by Mr. Trump over the past four years.

Having failed in his attempts to build a more “humane” set of immigration laws, Mr. Biden has reacted in a way that few of his supporters expected. In case after case, he has shown a willingness to use tough measures.

riddle me this bitch, if we're just gonna wind up with all of central americas population anyway, why shouldnt we just make it part of the US?

EXCEPT that Big Pharma steps over the line by preventing competitors from introducing their products such as COVID vaccines/treatments.

Then pressures the FDA to approve untested Vaccine boosters when most health authorities in other countries contradict their findings.

Corporations like Big Pharma don't practice Free Enterprise. They practice Corporate Fascism.
 
I think we should ALL be concerned. The government found the covid vaxx to be life saving and gave it out for free… but fuck everyone with diabetes or cancer. 50% of Americans have used pharmaceutical medication in the past 30 days.

Generic is hopefully an option.

What claim was that? Link to it. I would not make any claim like that unless it was substantiated.

Sorry. I meant Odorous, not you.

People are immigrating from country to country all over the world. Why don't we make it one big country?
 
Irony Alert!!!

What is it with the low IQ crowd always insinuating that I can't think critically? LMAO.

I did not insinuate that you cannot think critically in that post.

I stated that you have a lack of confidence in your ability to think critically.

Two different things.

Talk about low IQ.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
