"President Trump just opened the door for drug prices to skyrocket. Without the implementation of these and similar plans focused on reducing costs, Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries will continue to face high out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs, and will have limited access to important—sometimes essential—prescriptions."

Trump Actions to Undermine Drug Prices Will Cost Medicare Recipients Money

"It’s as plain as day: President Trump did away with these cost-saving plans so that his friends in the pharmaceutical industry could profit. Many administrations have tried to take on exorbitant price-gouging of seniors and failed. President Biden succeeded, and many Americans could enjoy these savings for years."

"The new Trump Administration has been so brazen as to increase costs on prescription drugs, making it all-too-evident with whom it stands…and it’s not America’s seniors."
But thankfully the price of eggs is soooo much cheaper now. Am I right?

in reply to Jason William Karpf • • •I was blown away the first time I saw this episode. It was so powerful and unnerving, then to find out the truth of what was going hooked me forever.
And one more thing, I loved the main character looking up at the moon, and basically saying, "I'm still coming..."
Brilliant piece.
