Why do we need to defeat Donald Trump and ensure that a Democrat occupies the White House? Let’s start with white collar crime.
In the Los Angeles Times today Sunday July 14.2024, the brilliant Michael Hiltzik warns that “Pharmacy middlemen claim to keep prescription prices low. In fact, they’ve cost consumers billions.”
Hiltzik quotes an industry insider detailing how to conspire to sell Gleevec, a drug used to treat leukemia for $19,200, the same drug that one can buy at Costco for $93 – a two hundred fold markup. Stop and think about that for a moment. A giant U.S. corporation is scamming and bilking the desperate patients suffering from leukemia. Pure evil.
Is anyone trying to do anything to stop this despicable predation. Yes. His name is Joseph Biden. Biden and many other Democrats have been trying hard to lower outlandish drug price gauging and allow Medicare to negotiate prices with pharma companies. Republicans almost to a man support drug companies profitable schemes.
The solution is simple. Have a heart and vote Democrat – across the ballot- in November.
