Big Pharma is really running some dick up the American people's ass?!!

Drugmakers are starting 2019 with a slew of price hikes affecting more than 1,000 medications.:whoa:

The average increase amounts to about 6 percent, said Michael Rea, founder and CEO of RX Savings Solutions, which sells software that helps employers and health plans analyze drug prices. Among the best-known drugs getting costlier are the opioid OxyContin, with a 9.5 percent jump, and the blood thinner Pradaxa, up 8 percent.

Those increases underscore the challenges facing consumers and health care plans as drug costs far outpace the rate of inflation or wage growth. Americans spent $535 billion on prescription drugs last year, an increase of 50 percent since 2010, according to one estimate.

"A 9 percent increase isn't just over inflation -- it's four times inflation," Rea noted. "No matter what, that effect is felt by consumers, by payers and the solvency of public and private health plans."

Inflation around the U.S. remains around 2 percent.

I don't know, but he never promised to do so, like Rump did. When Rump made that promise I giggled, knowing he could not do it... When Rump made that promise, you swooned and came in your pants.

That's funny, since unlike you I never wish or want a politician to do anything for me. Except of course, to get out of the way. I'm the polar opposite of a liberal, remember?

How do you infer that with what I posted? "I never wish or want a politician to do anything for me."

Opposing attorneys must have a field day when you're in the court room. LOL

You are a Rumpper, so I know you dont care about honesty.

The other attorneys may have a field day, but I take their clients money and deposit into my BANK.
