HHS with a torrent of lawsuits over negotiating Medicare drug prices

Hardly surprising.

The big question is which side of these lawsuits will all those fiscal conservatives in the Republican Party come down on.

 

Unconstitutional ... lolz ... if anything it is unconstitutional to not allow negotiation.

American exceptionalism. Per capita costs on prescription drugs.

Big pharma will always win. Whoever speaks out against them will never achieve enough power to do anything significant. Not sure political party matters.

Of course all of this is legal but somewhat shameful.

 

And it’s negotiation that is being required. The only price mandate being imposed is by the pharmaceutical industry.

Like a few other things practiced in America’s version of capitalism, it’s downright shameful. I’m willing to bet, however, that they’ll be able to convince the TEXAS court that they’ll suffer irreparable harm if they have to negotiate.

 

Conservative SCOTUS have also forced Democrat party leaders to take in hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from big pharma. That damned Kavanaugh broke us.
