One azzhole at the top can really screw things up. Drugs always soar when Democrats are in office, even in the most secure building in the world and no one knows who or how they got there, Keystone Pipeline and other environmental BS rules, the border wall, and catch and release. The main thing that Biden did was screw up world peace. Biden sucks just like all Democrats.
That’s incorrect. Republicans have always lobbied for big pharma and are the biggest recipients of pharma “donations”.
Senate Republicans blocked a $35 monthly cap on the cost of insulin in the private market from being included in Democrats’ economic tax and spending package. Previously, they lobbied to give pharma $20 billion a year.
Republicans also introduced a bill that would roll back the drug pricing reforms in the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act, including the measures allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and capping annual drug expenses for many seniors.
The Republican Study Committee, as well as the House Budget Committee, budget plans proposed to repeal this and other IRA drug price reforms. Repealing this would mean 1.5 million beneficiaries would see insulin cost rise an average of $500 annually.
