What an arrogant, ignorant woman. Putting government in control of making drugs will increase, not decrease the cost of drugs, and, there will be a lot of mismanagement and less research. Yup, great idea.

A corrupt government who can’t balance a budget, who refuses to secure it’s own borders and is constantly attempting to strip/limit/regulate American freedoms, now want to manufacturer medications for ill people?

We’re running out of legitimate options on how to keep everyone safe from these lunatics like Warren.

Joking, right? PSRIs have helped to created many a drug. Public institutions help to develop drugs all the time.

Government making anything would increase the cost by a factor of at least 10. Of course, the excess costs would all be buried.

At least nobody is seriously talking about actually enforcing our 100 yr old plus ANT TRUST LAWS!! Because , well that would put ALL of them in PRISON FOR LIFE and All their Assets would be stripped.

If anyone here takes the time to READ our Anti Trust Laws, they would soon see that it is an Accurate Description of how our current Healthcare Delivery system operates, ILLEGALLY!!!

Speaking of which, there was an episode of Bizarre Foods where Andrew Zimmern met with an Indian tribe in central Maine. In keeping with their traditions beaver meat is their staple food. Since it's just a few hours from metro Boston I wonder, does Fauxcahantas eat beaver? Not insinuatin nuttin, just axing....🤔😜

On the socialist menu. Nationalize healthcare. Nationalize pharmaceutical manufacturing. Nationalize oil companies.
Nationalize food production. Nationalize everything, everywhere possible.

Elizabeth Warren Takes a DNA test

“Ms Warren, we have the results of your DNA test.”
“How much aboriginal ancestry do I have?”
“Well, there is good news and bad news.”
“What’s the bad news?”
“There’s no Indian blood. You are 20 percent Irish, 33 percent German, 47 percent Roma gypsy. You are hot-headed, bent on world domination, and completely untrustworthy.”
“Damn. What’s the good news?”
“You’re in the correct line of work.”

Yeah, what could go wrong? Whenever the gubmint gets involved in something the first thing that happens is the price goes up exponentially. Like the cost of education.

Lizzie Moron thinks that the price of drugs will go down?

Fiat is practically owned by the Italian gov’t and look at those reliable dependable cars they built over the years /s. They’re not called Fix It Again Tonys for nothing. One reason the Yugo was a miserable failure was that it’s based on a Fiat that was a sh!tbox even by Euro standards.

So I guess the gov't will steal all the drug patents. OK, then we have cheap drugs. But no more new drugs because the gov't sure ain't gonna do the R&D.
This twit must be huddling with that Ocasio-Cortez idiot.
