this country is such a fucking joke
The expected price hikes come as the pharmaceutical industry gears up for the Biden Administration to publish significantly discounted prices for 10 high-cost drugs in September,
yeah i feel so fucking bad for them. is there any breathing human on the continent who thinks this is fair play
What about the shareholders!!!!!
The rich fucks that stand to profit are definitely stoked
God forbid we ever get universal healthcare / a single payer system
Or allow endless corporate profits from publicly funded research
Taxes go in, corporate profits come out. The system works!
Side eyes telecoms
I wish they would talk about that more outside of election season.
Our best chance was when Obama had a supermajority and he decided to make it more expensive, not less.
If you ever needed proof of who runs America well here it is.
You need a comma in there, mate 😂
If you ever need proof of who runs America well, here it is
Don't downvote this guy; the sentence was legitimately ambiguous without the comma! Compare:
"If you ever need proof of who runs America well, here it is."
vs.
"If you ever need proof of who runs America, well here it is."
2nd was my original parsing.
I wish there was a list of drugs so I'd know whether or not I'll have to pay more.
Brand name drugs go up 2-10% each year. Generics generally don't change.
That's good to hear. All of the drugs I'm currently on are generics. The brand name only ones have all been deemed unnecessary at this point. I've also gone from 7 pills in the morning and 5 at night to 3 pills and one supplement in the morning and 2 at night, which is pretty damn good for having a nerve disorder. I just worry that they will stop working and I will have to go back to an expensive name brand option.
