Trump wants direct price negotiations between Medicare and drug companies. Big layoffs coming!
"In addition to his replacement plan for the ACA, also known as Obamacare, Trump said he will target pharmaceutical companies over drug prices and demand that they negotiate directly with Medicaid and Medicare. “They’re politically protected, but not anymore,” he said of pharmaceutical companies."
I agree on some of the concerns around price but you are NOT entitled! Pharmaceutical companies have a right to make a profit, that's free enterprise. Life expectancy has risen over the years because of the industry and what it has done. People spend more on liquor and cigarettes over all pharmaceuticals combined. Learn your shit before spewing your angry disgruntled rhetoric!Long overdue. Pharma lacks social responsibility although they spout their BS about their concern for patients. Profits are what drive this business, not patients.
They've been ripping off patients for too long. Time to pay the piper.
Pharma tax rates are already low due to lawsuits and R&D. BMS is in the low 20%. FDA regs are codified and will take years to change... the FDA culture will take even longer. FDA is notoriously immune to political pressure. Keep dreaming..,
