No it's revoking the EO that limited prices, causing a price spike, subsidizing prices over $35 with taxpayer money, which goes to the same people gouging prices, which goes to lobbyist, which goes to the politicians.
The reason the R's didn't vote for it was the mj poison pill amendment and I guess some didn't get promised the lobbyist payout.
- ecf 5y agoInsulin is going to be cheaper after this. It’s not perfect, it’s not fully subsidized, it’s not single payer healthcare. But it’s SOMETHING, which is a refreshing thing after years and years of the do-nothing R-controlled senate.
- hunterb123 5y agoPrices were truly limited via EO under Trump and revoked by Biden. And, yes it's something, it's LAUNDERING. It's going to be more expensive, but it spreads costs around to hide it. You'll end up paying big pharma just as much, if not more, just lobbyist and politicians are getting a cut in the transaction. Since the insurers are held liable for the cost, government healthcare plans like medicare will be paid by taxpayers. Private insurers will increase their premiums to cover their cost, so you take a hit both ways. Coordinate with big pharma to charge medicare huge costs, have the taxpayers pay them, they pay lobbyist to funnel to politicians. Free $$$ stream!
