Way to go, Brandon!

Biden’s drug price negotiations save taxpayers 6 billion annually….

and 1.5 billion in out of pocket expenses.   And this is just round 1.

 

so let's review the parties' records on Medicare drugs....

1).  George Bush gave Medicare free drugs and added the total cost to the deficit.    He also made it illegal to negotiate those drug prices or allow Americans to buy drugs at a cheaper price from Canada.    Republicans all cheeered.


2).  Obama paid for Bush's Medicare drugs so they weren't going on the deficit.    Republicans shit their pants.

 

3).  Trump talked a lot about cutting drug prices but did nothing.   Republicans cheered.

 

4). Biden cut Medicare drug prices saving taxpayers billions...and he has released the ban on buying cheaper drugs from Canada.   And Republicans shit their pants.

 

People who say neither party looks out for the little guy don't know basic, easily verified history.

The year long negotiation process will yield savings of $6 billion in 2026 from net prices paid by Medicare, according to US Health Secretary Xavier Becerra.

 

This is an esimate by a democrat toady for the year 2026.  I thought the savings were already supposed to happen

 

Obama paid for Bush's Medicare drugs so they weren't going on the deficit. Republicans shit their pants.  Did obama pay for this out of his own pocket?  If not it came from the deficit

 

Biden cut Medicare drug prices saving taxpayers billions.

 

pj'd own thread says the savings won't happen until 2026.

Now if that only offset the cost of food, gas, insurance etc. we'd be all set! But with Brandon's record any win is a win I guess.

So what?  That's all you got?   When do Trumps price cuts take hold?  Or his Obamacare replacement?


Democrats get shit done ....and the people you vote for don't.     The record is clear..

So if Trump wins, does he shit can the drug price change and we never see any of these 2026 savings? 

 

I thought we were saving $ now too the way you've boasted and broadcasted this about 150x before.  

We did!    That was with insulin.  Thanks for the reminder.    Tell Tom.      Today they announced 10 more drugs.   More coming in future years.  Cool, huh?

Can Trump kill this though if he gets in office?  (I don't think that has a snowball's chance of happening though)

Vox, January 31, 2017: "After meeting with pharma lobbyists, Trump drops promise to negotiate drug prices"

 

So how many billions would that have saved American consumers and taxpayers?
