    Many critical treatments and medicines are developed in the US. Congress could pass protectionist trade laws requiring that the poorest uninsured American can’t be charged a penny more than whatever artificially low negotiated costs are paid by foreign countries systems like the Canadians or the British NHS.

    Its possible that other countries could retaliate with cost controls for their own domestically developed drugs but it feels like this is an area where the US can and should have leverage.

    I can’t disagree with the PBM part, if it’s actually done.

    I’d appreciate a non-biased source for the claims about Europe.

    So instead of going to after the middle men or anyone involved he wants to make Europe pay more?

    So Europe answer is obvious. Your Patents don’t apply here.

    There is a 0% chance of that happening. Trump has clearly chosen class warfare over Bannonite populism.

        Would you source that for me? I honestly don’t know. Bannon has plenty of money, though.

          You don’t think a bunch of fucking tech nerds who overwhelmingly work in the tech industry make more than the average American?!

            I’m not a tech nerd. We’ve had a lot of redditors join and they weren’t either. They left reddit because of the technocrats.

              So you don’t think the majority of Lemmy are tech people?! Come on, man. I get that you don’t like Trump. I get that you hate Trump news.

              But brah, be real. You don’t have to disagree with everything I say just because I posted an article about Trump.

                I don’t hate Trump. I dislike his policies. Maybe it is mostly tech nerds. Maybe it isn’t. I pointed to at least two very large influxes of users. I’m not putting words in your mouth. I would appreciate it if you didn’t do that to me.

        Has nothing to do with my feelings. That rag is well known for spreading lies. It’s weird that you get mad that your little fantasies get called out for what they are.

        You’re over here all : “Lie to me more daddy”.

          I’m not mad at all. You do realize that I didn’t write the article, right?

          Pathetic

          Well the majority fo voter disagreed with you and now he’s our president. How’s that feel?

          Hey how did calling is supporters “pathetic” work out for you in the election?

          I fucking laughed and laughed and laughed on election day. How’d you do?

            I didn’t cast blame. I read it to see if there were viable points. There was one. I understand your defensiveness, and want to work together to make a better nation. That requires honest and self-reflective dialogue.

              I’m not defensive. I didn’t write the article. I merely posted a link to it. Up to you if you read it or not. Not my problem.

        Can you tell me why, please? I imagine we’re on the same side, but see causes and solutions differently. I could be wrong. I just want everything good for everyone and think the United States has enough for everyone to enjoy a basic standard of living.

          I like their attitudes. Also I don’t take politics seriously and the reality is Dems and Republicans are the exact same thing. Both suck. One is more fun to watch than the other.

            I like that they say the quiet part out loud rather than hiding their hands after throwing the grenade. I had a feeling we had common ground.

            Did you vote R? I didn’t. And I didn’t vote D. I voted 3rd.
