OMG! OMG! OMG!
Someone here is losing their mind!

Actually not. Someone is grounded.

Big Pharma is a propaganda war.
On one extreme are people such as the Sacklers and the politicians that they owned.
On the other extreme is the PBS crowd that thinks "Detroit" is still hiding the 100 mpg carburetor and Big Pharma is hiding the cannibis cure for all forms of cancer. That crowd is aided by media outlets who specialize in feeding them red meat distortions. I have personally seen these people say this stuff and mean it at open mics.

This crew here is more the latter.

I am 73 and as interested as anybody in drugs coming down. I try to find out what the real truth is, but it is not available to me. Because all the information I get is filtered through the propaganda wars and the self-serving sound bytes of politicians.

Things that I feel confident in believing:

Trump lies and exaggerrates.
All politicians lie and exaggerate but Trump does not seem real concerned with concealing it.

Trump does appear to be trying to do things that will bring the cost down. That would be a big win for him.

Is he having any success at it?
Not sure.

Are his claims exaaggerated?
My personal assumption is yes.

Did Biden/Harris get anything done about the cost of drugs? Maybe, but broadly speaking, nothing that I can see.

There are a lot of drugs out there. Eli Lilly is building a big complex in Houston, allegedly as part of an effort to bring the drugs back to the US and get them out of the hands of foreigners.

Do I know what the relationship between R&D costs, history, and consumers prices are for each and every drug by each and every mfg? No way to know.

CONSEQUENCE
Regardless of all the propaganda, do I think that Trump is trying to bring light and pressure on pharmaceutical prices?
Yes. Because he has something substantial to gain from getting it done. That will gain him independents.

How successful will he be?
I dont know.

As for all you cackling hens,
Your vantage is no better than mine.
Other than catharsis and bleeding out TDS, cackling is pointless.
If it means that much to you, try to get involved through AARP or something.
