The covid catastrophe that’s engulfing India and other global South countries could have been significantly mitigated had the US, UK and Europe not repeatedly refused to suspend vaccine-related patents. People are being sacrificed on the altar of “intellectual property”.

Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D.

It’s unacceptable that Americans pay nearly 3x more than people in other countries for the same prescription drugs! We have the opportunity to finally rein in Rx prices, and I’m going to fight hard to get it done. https://t.co/VstMAJKP5y

Joe Biden is the single largest all-time recipient of insurance industry contributions, receiving $8,453,914.

Could this explain why Joe Biden opposes Medicare For All?

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen@NoLieWithBTC

If you know someone who is diabetic, they should know that 92% of House Republicans just voted against a standalone bill that would simply cap the cost of insulin at $35/month.

Everyone should also know that this is misleading.

The bill caps the co-pay at $35/month, not the cost. Uninsured patients will still get billed the entire amount, and Pharma will still charge insurance companies whatever they damn well feel like charging, and the insurance companies will raise premiums to compensate.

Just more performative bullshit from the Democrats.

RT @BernieSanders: According to a Yale School of Medicine study, we could have prevented 338,000 deaths in the U.S. from Covid during the pandemic if we had a universal, single-payer health care system like every other major country on the planet. pic.twitter.com/iCqep7o58t

I shout when I’m sad or angry so I’m posting again today. My mom died of a treatable cancer last night. It doesn’t kill most people. She was only 52 and died because she’d had it so long. She never saw a doctor, never had insurance. She was a cashier at the mall.
