Trump going after big pharma to bring down drug prices

Big Pharma and their leftists worshipers will be outraged about this!

I don't have any problem with this type of pressure, in principle. It sounds like something a Dem president would do. So I guess it's just you who is partisan flip-flopping, bragging and trolling about it now when you would undoubtedly have been screaming about it a year ago.
 
Love that this "gotcha" thread only got...agreement.
That has to sting. Thankfully, your medicated ointment of choice could be less expensive.
 
I suspect that Trumps more rational advisors are telling him that the economic consequences of his policies are about to start biting. That means Trump needs stuff like this to try and convince his followers that he is actually trying to do something for them. When we get nasty economic numbers next month, all he will want to talk about will be how he is lowering drug prices.

So you support government control as long as it's the malignant narcissist scumbag piece of shit liar grifter rapist seditionist felon serial adulterer and tax cheat and pedophile in charge. Too funny. Sad actually. Hypocritical to say the least.
 
Ooh, a letter and some threats.

Trump wasn't too good to take some of that evil sweet Big Pharma money.


 
Why would anyone be against lower drug prices?

The UK has a body that sets prices the NHS are willing to pay for drugs and they get vast discounts because they're buying for a market of 65 million people.
It's why prices for the same drug are a fraction here of what they are in the US.

Price controls for drugs are a good thing.
 
Actually, he is going to set up policies that stop the American consumers from subsidizing freeloading Canadians and Europeans when it comes to medical prescriptions.

How are they freeloading?
We can't force companies to sell their products to us and they know how much we will pay.

Just because the companies have been ripping you off for decades doesn't mean anything other than that you got played.

Name some of these alleged "leftists worshippers" of Big Pharma who are going to be outraged about this and show us some evidence to support your allegation.

Thanks!
As a card carrying Leftist, I am all for "Big Pharma" being targeted to lower prices if they have illegally or immorally "jacked" up those prices to us consumers.

I do not "worship" so called Big Pharma.

I do heartily thank "Big Pharma" in regards the seeming miracle medications that have been born of the pharmaceutical industries over the years, many of which I have and still benefit from.

If fixing alleged "overpricing", doing that in a sane, rational, Constitutional and sensible way is President Trump's ultimate goal, then HELL YES I am, even my being the solid Leftist that I am, well, I am fully on board with that!
 

Nah, you're the one that is opposed to Trump doing anything good for poor and middle-class Americans because your love, loyalty, and devotion are to your Democratic Party masters. On the contrary, you hope that immense suffering comes upon the people so that one of your party masters can return to power and resume robbing the aforementioned Americsns of the morsel of wealth they have remaining. Now slither back to your sewer where you belong.
 

The left wholeheartedly supports crooks like Fauci getting paid commissions by big pharma and the left loved it when Fauci told Rand Paul, who asked him how much he was receiving from Big Pharma, to go F himself. Don't tell me that the left doesn't support Big Pharma and every other major corporation that serves the Democratic Party in return for massive profits.
 

While you look other way at the large donations Big Pharma gave Trump, and many other Republicans.
 
Your critical thinking skills gets an F on that analysis.
