@sonhouse saidNo. I do not mean just Pharma. I wonder why you would think I mean just Pharma. Your comment confirms to me that you do not see the big picture. It's OK, sonhouse, we will slowly bring you alone. Certainly I refer not only to Pharma.
@AverageJoe1
You mean like big Pharm charging 400 bucks for insulin that costs 10 bucks to manufacture? THAT kind of price gouging? And Biden getting it down to 35 bucks insuring a mere 350 % profit instead of the previous 4000% profit.
And you went 'what's wrong with that' and then have the nerve to bitch about price gouging.
@Zahlanzi saidbidens plans caused insurance for seniors to go way up, Trumps plan was manageable ...biden doesnt want rates going up right before an election so he pays off the insurance providers with taxpayer money to make it look good...his plan is unaffordable, a failure if you will
it's not all Biden, there were many democrats who helped

It is more than just Insulin, now Medicare has the ability to shop around, find the best prices. Why was that a big no no? If drugs are cheaper, your medical bill is cheaper, your insurance gets cheaper. Right now gas prices are up, about 3:50 a gallon here, some places 3:29 a gallon, but big oil is making huge profits and they would make money if gas was two bucks a gallon but they are greedy.
@sonhouse saidYeah I get all that.

Did you miss the point? Read the article? Biden did NOT lower the cost (solely on his own). Yet you give Trump no credit for his part? Curious indeed.
@sonhouse saidso who is letting “big oil” do this?

@Mott-The-Hoople
So you take stuff from over a year ago and tack it on to what is happening today. Hint: Biden is not the POTUS candidate if you hadn't heard, he is a lame duck, shipping to the old folks home in January.
Big oil, like Exxon, they drive prices and when a missile is launched from Lebanon the price gets driven up.
@AverageJoe1
You mean where he had the price go from 400 to 150? Still a nice 1500% profit.
So Biden getting it down to a mere 350% profit I guess you would hate since you LOVE big Pharm and think they actually are in it to help people.
@sonhouse saidopec and russia control oil prices now that we are no longer oil independent

You will say anything, do anything in your corrupt deal to dis Biden and to help your felon running for office again.
BTW, there is a new indictment of Trump by Smith about Jan 6 and you don't have to tell me it's a witch hunt and the judges are corrupt.
He was convicted by JURIES not just those 'corrupt' judges. The only corrupt one I know about is Trump's pet cannon, Judge Cannon who illegally dismissed the Mar a Lago stolen TS docs case.
THAT is being appealed as we speak also and this time she may have stepped over the bridge on this one, she was batted down at least 2 times by upper level courts and this dismissal is really stupid, based on what she thinks is Smith not properly vetted by congress to prosecute which has NOTHING to do with the actual criminal activity of Trump so that is going to be shortly figured out and the Mar A Lago case will be back on and maybe with another judge who is Trump's favorite cannon, his pet judge.
