Right now I think to many in Congress are afraid of big pharma and their money so are avoiding the issue.

Everyone should contact your congressional leaders and senators and tell them you want lower drug prices.

Thanks for listening.
Lower drug prices by government force? THis is some liberal anti-capitalist shit! JUST WORK HARDER! This country does NOT need more handouts.... oh wait.. it is for yourself? Well THAT is different!

Seriously though, it bugs me "Trump where he is trying to drum up support to take on big pharma and get drug prices lowered". Trump is about the last one who is going to do anything in this area. He is trying to drum up support for himself. His policies have consistently benefited the wealthy more than the poor. Outside of attributing this economic swing to him, what is there? The only ones who are going to take on big pharma are liberals. Sorry if the truth stings.
Account, your attitude is that of a bonified loser.
Well, if you can tell me how you think Trump is going to do something for you by taking on big companies in the US, I'm all ears. He's had 3 years to do such a thing somewhere.. Put up! Wheres the beef? Maybe there is something I am overlooking.

R&D costs money and this and that. I can give you the song and dance. We get the best drugs earliest because of capitalism and all that. This is what we want! Capitalism! If we make drugs too cheap, no new ones will be invented.

I mean I am ok with someone requesting that Trump go after Big-Pharma but like this has been a liberal thing forever. Trump decides his policies strictly on whether they are anti-Obama/Clinton and whether they benefit the wealthy. He also says anything to get elected. Sure middle class might get a tax-cut, but guaranteed upper-classes get a bigger one under Trump. Who knows, maybe I have Trump wrong on what he's done.

You're asking for price controls... or something? What is Trumps plan? <crickets> It goes something like "Vote for me and I'll MAGA" ?

I can give you lots of reasons why capitalism fails when applied to medicine but don't think anyone wants to hear it.
