Tbh, I found it humorous that that was the approach you took which is why I responded. You want to call someone out for saying they always support less government and that was your response? A Bronx cheer for you my friend

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.

This is why we need a universal healthcare system where the government can negotiate drug prices with drug companies. Those 9% increases will disappear just like they do in other countries.

It doesn’t work that way. If you want less government structure the program so people have an option to invest or not. Forcing people to pay taxes into the system isn’t creating less government

Bullshit.

Again, if I had been given the option I would have invested that money myself. Since FedCo forced me to give it to them I plan on soaking them for as much as it back as possible.

Operable word in bold.
