Except for birth control pills - they will be priced like street value oxycontin.
Azar has said his priorities include …making health insurance more affordable and available…
Wait. Is Azar a Democrat? I’m so confused…
I wait with baited breath.
Azar has said his priorities include curbing the cost of prescription drugs, making health insurance more affordable and available, and confronting the opioid addiction epidemic.
Funny, but Trump has said those same things. Of course, Trump is a liar and would have no idea how to do those things even if he was so inclined (which he’s not). So, excuse me for not believing this guy either.
I guess Mexico is going to pay for the discounts. Fuck this shit. There’s no way on this green earth that a former Lilly guy is going to get drug prices way down. That’s contrary to what’s in his DNA. And there’s the fact he has no way to do it but ask.
And I am going to flip on the landing lights for Amelia Earhart!
Trump says, “He’s going to get those prescription drug prices way down.”
When drug prices skyrocket, miscreants in the GOP chorus won’t just deny it, they’ll concoct a narrative where extremely high drug prices actually HELP people. Feature, not bug, blah, blah, blah.
"Trump says, “He’s going to get those prescription drug prices way down.”
Azar spent a decade as a senior executive of Indianapolis-based drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co."
Ken Thomas is the Sahara of dry reporting.
It’ll be because of Obama and the ACA. And Schumer and Pelosi are splitting the profits with Big Pharma to fund the Deep State.
Trump also said he would release his taxes if he won the election.
The stress of the Mueller investigation and the lack of sleep lead me to wager that Trump will adlib a real whopper into the SotU tomorrow night. I’m still not going to watch, but the people who’ve pre-written the Trump is really getting presidential this time, I promise articles are going to need to do some late-stage revisions.
Stringing together 30 minutes of sentences without stepping in some shit is beyond his capabilities.
I’m talking about him complaining that Stormy Daniels wasn’t worth $130,000 because she didn’t look enough like Ivanka, or launching into an anti-Semitic rant about Rod Rosenstein.
“By the time we’re done flooding America with opioids, we’ll be practically giving them away!”
Is it possible for this asshole to ever say anything specific? What does way down mean to him, the marketplace or the individual…? ten %…40…?It gets tiring listening to the hyperbole.
The devil is in the details: More affordable and more available (via stripped down plans that you can afford, but don’t actually cover anything)
I think that there’s a prescription drug that can help you with that.
Alex Azar Will Get ‘Prescription Drug Prices Way Down’
So THAT’s why all those investors are pouring their money into pharma stocks ! —
