Have you seen an actual summary of how much Biden's negotiations have saved US patients? Not rosy election year projections. Actual numbers. Real patients. Not hypotheticals. Because it ain't $1.8 billion. They haven't saved me a dime. Edit: BTW, US prescription spending is >$700 billion a year. How much of a savings is $1.8 billion spread over 10 years? Put it in percentage numbers, if you don't mind...

Yet, the lefties are already claiming that it hasn't worked.

I'm all for it if it shames Boeing into getting their house in order.

Have you seen the summary of the actual savings? Because they were supposed to kick in starting in 2026. All I've seen is rosy projections.

I think you just made my point.

Keep at it. Unhinged is what got Trump elected. It'll also get Vance elected in 2028.

Do you honestly think that anything got cheaper under biden? We don't know yet... The Biden price reductions were supposed to kick in starting in 2026. On 10 (count 'em 10) of the thousands of prescriptions in the pharmacy.

Songkhla is a world unto itself. If the guy's connected to the fishing families, they'll probably end up apologizing to him and offering to replace any chairs that got damaged beating the cops with them. But, I hope I'm wrong. I love Songkhla and the people. But they have messed up politics.

Perhaps he's just trying to shame Boeing into finally getting their act together. How would that be bad for the USA?

Change the locks when she's "out with her friends". You're welcome.

What other products have the same pricing disparity? And which of them can be the difference between life and death? I can order (for example) a camera from Japan if they're cheaper there, and the only difference is that I may not get the warranty. If I try that with a prescription, I'm subject to arrest.

There's an old Marshall Tucker song, from when they were my favorite band in the '70s. "If I die at 23" (Ab's Song). That was my theme song back in my rebel without a clue phase. Yet, here I am at 68. I'd have taken better care of myself if I only knew.

2 wise old sayings come to mind. There but for the grace of God... People in glass houses...

Wouldn't you? I know I would...

Not if it's done properly. More accurately, no riskier than the US supply chains, who have them made overseas anyway. Then they sell the same Indian or Chinese made medicines at one price in Europe and a much higher price in the US.

Apparently plenty of rebar in that concrete pole. I'd rag on the driver, but I did stupid stuff when I was a kid. It's sheer dumb luck that I didn't end up just like him. Even better luck that I didn't kill anyone else. That's in his favor, too. RIP.

True, but fake blue pills aren't the topic of discussion here.

Then we (Americans) should be allowed to order it from a different country where they sell the same medicine at a much lower price.

Opinion, drivel Potato, potato.

He just signed it. The ink's not even dry and the lefty idiots are already claiming it hasn't resulted in significant savings.

Bet'cha he's glad he wasn't on a scooter. One more data point...

Give the guy credit. He's trying his best to get the Dems to be in a position to win the future. By pointing out how utterly ridiculous many of their platforms are, and how badly they're resonating with the mainstream voters. They do great with the lunatic fringes, but that lost them 2024.

It's coming... I've seen it. But it's on "unapproved sources". I'm patient. The MSM will be shamed into covering it eventually.

Political genius. He'll sign the EO, the courts will stop him again, and he scores. It'll also re-open the discussion of the "Most Favorable Nation" concept, which is long overdue. Americans should be allowed to order our prescriptions from overseas if Big Pharma wants to keep gouging us in the USA. At the very least, gub'ment paid prescriptions should be sources from the least expensive source, even if that's not in the USA.

I get what you're saying, but let me respond with 2 comments. 1) I find it very difficult to negotiate with someone that doesn't speak the same language without getting adversarial and perhaps causing resentment. And I don't want my driver to be in a pissed off mood, especially at me. I'd rather have a happy driver. They seem to drive saner. 2) If foreigners weren't known for tipping, we'd probably rarely get picked up on the side of the road. Edit: I can't tell you the number of times I've been refused on the side of the road because the driver wanted to find a longer drive, until I sweetened the pot. Sadly for those that don't have it, money talks. And as an individual, I can't do anything about that reality.
