I think I’ll watch The Majestic again tonight.
At the hearing, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Maryland) opened by saying, “It’s not funny — people are dying” because drug companies “jacked up” prices.
And Cummings has no responsibility for causing drug prices to rise. How about unreasonable regulations and Medicaid forcing pharmacies ( & drug companies) to accept less than what the drugs cost. Some of the Medicaid (WELFARE) recipients aren’t even willing to pay the 50 cents co-pay they are supposed to pay. They want if for FREE!
I got your and discovered black cherry juice, then the same thing in concentrated pills. I no longer have any gout symptoms and haven’t for months. I only take the pills if I feel a bit of big toe pain coming on.$6 for a one years supply if I take them every day.
Drugs are mostly a scam.
Love it that he has the sack to laugh at the clowns that make his profit margin look like peanuts.
yah, I’m conflicted on this one. He is a real jerk, but I would love the chance to sit in front of congress and treat them with the contempt they deserve.
While Congress is laughable, this guy is a self-glorifying sociopath with a whale-sized ego.
He probably just earned nomination as Clinton’s Sec of HHS.
I pretty much agree. He can set any price he desires for drugs that the company owns. If they don’t like this method....they’d have to create some national board to control prices, and you’d just bribe members of the board to allow for more inflated prices.
I sat and watched the testimony episode for twenty minutes....just laughing over the guy and his act.
The idiots in Congress need to change the absurd IP laws. Problem instantly solved. But they would rather grandstand in defense of the poor and dying and threaten communist price controls which would create real shortages.
More grandstanding as we head for single payer- you think healthcare is expensive now- wait until the govt runs it
