Topic: Our Glorious President is Lowering Drug Prices | |
---|---|
In Sept he signed an important EO
"Just signed a new Executive Order to LOWER DRUG PRICES! My Most Favored Nation order will ensure that our Country gets the same low price Big Pharma gives to other countries. The days of global freeriding at America's expense are over..." What has been happening up to now is some countries paid a fraction of what we pay. Remember hearing about people driving to canada to get their prescriptions? Well some countries get it even cheaper. Big pharma moves in mysterious ways. That is all coming to an end and if they give insulin dirt cheap to zimbabwe or saudi arabia, they have to offer it at the same price here. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/executive-order-favored-nation-big-pharma-drug/2020/09/13/id/986699/ I wonder what other miracles he will work in his second term? |

Hope you enjoyed those lower drug prices while they lasted. The liberals Chief of Thieves just rescinded Trump's orders and now everything will be back the way it was. Hope the liberals are happy.

With liberal chaos restored,
opiods should get easier for pillheads to find. |

The President just got into office a couple of days ago. I don't take any drugs. What else do you have?

The EO trump issued has not even gone through yet. It is normal practice for the incoming President to review pending EO’s by the outgoing President. |

Under the new socialist plan the government will pay for all your medical care and drugs. Of coarse many people are already on this program, but if you are actually one of the working people get prepared to be taxed 70% of your income. When the government pays for something verses individuals then nobody looks at the price so they can charge whatever they want. Under Obama care they insurance companies charged the people a fortune or didn't even offer coverage in many areas. Trump not only tried to lower drug prices but he also made it so insurance companies had to pay out 80% for claims and could only make 20% for administration costs, saved me thousands. Part of the reason the US pays so much for all medical things is the outrageous restrictions they put on everything and peoples ability to sue for outrageous amounts for anything that may go wrong. Have you seen all the commercials that say if you used this drug or had this procedure you may be able to collect? Also with all the drug advertising people take way too many drugs in the US and then they need to take other drugs to counter act the side affects, not to mention the Opioid abuse. Things are often best left to the private sector because the government just screws them up and wastes tons of money on them.

The 80/20 rule has been the medical loss ratio for quite some time prior to Trump. What occurred during Trump’s administration is Covid brought declines in payouts, boosting profits, which normally would have to be paid in rebates to insured. Trump excused them from 80/20 rule allowing them to keep profits. Perhaps your savings came from an insurer who stayed with the 80/20 rule and applied it to lower premium costs. That’s Obamacare, not Trump. |

The EO trump issued has not even gone through yet. It is normal practice for the incoming President to review pending EO’s by the outgoing President. Review! That’s what liberals call it when they reverse a EO that actually helps Americans. It’s all a political game to these ignorant lawmakers. They couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the directions were wrote on the bottom... politicians are elected to create laws and policies to make the country run more efficient . The problem with liberals is they think everybody should be as immoral as they seem to be. They think abortion is a good thing. Killing a fetus is NOT a good thing. Putting folks out of work for a false pretense of “ studying the impact it has on our environment” as in the keystone pipeline is B.S.. it’s been studied to death. Now we are going to stop building the wall? Yea let’s let the illegals come in and bring their drugs to sell while we “ study if a wall is really able to stop illegal immigration. Duh, it’s a wall it stops people from crossing. No disinformation here it’s a fact. He will reverse most EOs that Trump enacted, not because its bad for the country but because it was Trumps idea. For the Democrats it’s all about securing power for their party and themselves. How anybody could support that way of thinking is beyond me. That is not how a democracy works, but that is how a socialist society acts. |

Both parties want the “power”, it is built into the constitution on which party is majority, minority and how the house and congress operate. To think otherwise is being very naive, not socialistic, and exactly how a democracy works.

Next will be free health care for all We had something very close to that but it got ruined around 2004. It wasn't totally free but really very affordable. If we still had what was normal back then I'd now pay E48 per month. Now I pay E184! That's almost 4x as much and what you get for that hasn't improved, it got less. Not certain but I think NHS used to be free or as good as too in the past. |

To think otherwise is being very naive, not socialistic, and exactly how a democracy works. Wrong! A true democracy is a government set forth by the citizens of a country to invest and protect in the welfare of those citizens. That is not accomplished by enacting polices that are proven to be disadvantageous to those citizens. In previous posts I’ve stated several of those policies and the only defense I’ve seen is how a new administration has to review the present policies. Reversing isn’t reviewing. To think otherwise is being foolish. |

Oh and can you tell me what the ultimate goal of the pipeline is and what the environmental studies have shown? |

Oh and can you tell me what the ultimate goal of the pipeline is and what the environmental studies have shown? How about 1. Stop construction of the wall, immediately. 2.the pipeline. 3. He told ICE to release all illegal immigrants in their custody. 4. Get back in the climate accord while China puts enough crap in the air to where it doesn’t make any difference if we stop adding to the crap completely or not. 5. Stop all deportations. Do the laws we have in this country mean anything to this “ president” or not. I think only the ones he agrees with. Not sure about what the studies have shown . I imagine they came back as safe to proceed because it was being built. I do know that common sense will tell you it’s safer traveling thru a pipe some underground some above than it is traveling in trucks on our highways. The goal is to become less dependent on foreign oil. We were almost totally non dependent thanks to Trump. .6. He revoked the permits to drill on federal land. |

Most of the refined oil will be exported. The reason the pipeline is taking so long is because of lawsuits an litigation over land and environmental issues. There have been 20+ major spills already from burst pipelines. Just because something is being built, you should never assume that makes it safe.
I don’t care who you vote for. But you should know both sides of an issue before you have an opinion. |

But you should know both sides of an issue before you have an opinion. So you mean four years of seeing these policies in action and producing positive results is not enough to base an opinion on. Is he slow witted as well as sleepy. 20 spills mostly in desolate areas , not much impact. Ok now compare that to the number of accidents involving oil tankers on the roads or by railway. The reason it’s taken so long is because anytime Democrats are in power it gets canceled. I think the dems. would rather be dependent on Iran or Iraq instead of using our own resources. Why I have no idea. |

To the 4 years reference — To the points you bring up about Biden, no. Understand the review process and that the democratic process allows citizens to vote into office those that best support their views. You liked Trumps views, great. Not all people do. You should look into the drilling on federal land, as someone that enjoys our natural resources, fishing, etc. you may not like the mess trump created. And your view on the Paris Climate Change is appalling. If you have kids and grandkids that’s exactly why we should be in it.

If we could get China to be responsible for their part than yes, I agree we should be there, but unless they take responsibility we are just pissing in the wind. Wasting time and money.. As many times I’ve been at the several beaches between N.C and Florida I have never seen a oil drilling platform. But if there was one , I would could take that over paying outrageous prices for a gallon of gas. I do agree both sides should be looked at while also looking forward to see if the action you take will make enough difference to justify your action. It’s called reasoning. Some of the decisions made by many of our liberal politicians makes me think they haven’t got the ability to reason. |
