No it won't. Not if you have taxpayers bargaining as a whole with Big Pharma.

Haven't been back in ages but here's Google on US prices of a common drug:

"In the United States, brand-name Pfizer Viagra typically costs $65 to $140 per pill out of pocket, while its FDA-approved generic equivalent, sildenafil, is significantly cheaper at $2 to $10 per pill through online telehealth platforms or with pharmacy discount coupons."

The price in India for sildenafil 50 mg. for a 4-pill strip: INR 30. That's INR 7.50/pill (refer https://zeelabpharmacy.com/product/zexgra-50-tab?srsltid=AfmBOopf8DUJvkIA2LH17w970_v1bdLn2V8tL-mGdA23ELE5lyXydFp8 )

That's 7 cents per pill at current exchange rates. Versus $2 to $10 per pill. And the Indian pharma co is still turning a profit. See what I mean about the power of collective bargaining? So if we all hold hands and "Iranify" Big Pharma (meaning kick it's arse) then we could have, if not free, at least affordable healthcare for, going by the 7 cents to $2 ratio, a couple of hundred billion.

Which would mean money left over from the 1 trillion defense saving for Americans to have edercashon to the level where thems wouldn't be spalling like this. Plus childcare.

But, of course, then the peons are going commie. Can't have that.

The Mercatus Center at George Mason University estimated the costs would increase federal spring by 32 trillion over 10 year. If you read the study it stated this was a conservative estimate that would cut payments by 40% to providers and it would likely cost more.

You need to get your peon head out from the rectum of the peon-guiding think tanks. I already gave you an example price differential of a hugely prescribed drug.

Which means the peon-minders aren't going by what consumers can get. They are going by what Big Pharma wants - Viagra example - which is $65 to $140 per pill vs. 7 cents per pill manufacturing cost (see my post above).

See what I mean? Do your own research. Don't let Mercatus and Brookings and RAND, etc., tell you what to think. Think for yourself. Let your inner commie out.

Listen folks, New York is not America ok. Calm down. Just because folks on the left side of America and some losers on the right think that they can vote people in to use other people's money, is not a sign of communism or socialism. We have been through this before. Americans are not Socialists country, please look up North to Canada for those folks.

The DSA Liberation Caucus highlights why President Trump and other conservative critics have long argued that the Democratic Socialists of America is a front/ potentially the beginning for radical communist ideologies.

"We Are Marxist-Leninist-Maoists in DSA: Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist mass organization in the United States, with dozens of members holding elected office, and thousands of members engaged in active grassroots participation in movements that have and will continue to shape the world that we live in for the better. However, as Maoists in DSA, we believe that ideological and political struggle can not be shirked and Comrade Mao’s call to combat liberalism must be heeded and taken seriously, otherwise opportunist and revisionist trends will arise and rot the soul of the organization. Therefore, we operate under these principles and call on all revolutionary communists working in DSA to unite with us.

Maoists are supporters of a revolutionary form of communism developed by Chinese leader Mao Zedong. Unlike traditional Marxism—which focuses on urban factory workers—Maoism relies heavily on peasants and guerrilla warfare to violently overthrow state institutions and establish a socialist society.

If you have seen this happening, please let everyone know where. Outside of china.

No disrespect intended, but the international left doesn't care about the actual cost or outcomes of healthcare , they want a Communist/Socialist approach that uses it as a Trojan horse for total government control over the economy, individuals, and society, regardless of how it bankrupts nations, rations care, or destroys innovation, exactly as we're seeing in the DSA driven radicalization of the Dem Party.

Latest from the Hill reminds me of purposeful lack of transparency,skewed narrative , the sanitization of the Marxist /Communist in the party when it comes to reporting the make up of the members in the radical Dem Socialist Party .

Im sure independent voters in swing states would be happy to know what radical ideology gives rise to this party, pitchforks indeed.

Its a disturbing development ,that the media .experts , Dem party & DSA purposely don't talk about , their members, in the Big Tent.

"It is Communism ,its not just raising taxes just a little bit"... VP Vance take on the DSA .

University and their academics have long indoctrinated generations with anti capitalist ideology, now manifesting as a wave of Dem Socialist victories in key primaries that are reshaping the party from within.

Example One Figure , NY DSA candidate Chevalier, fresh from leading campus unrest and pro Palestine protests at Columbia, exemplify how these academic radicals are translating protest into electoral power by unseating establishment Dem's.

VP JD Vance highlighted this shift on Fox News, warning that these wins signal Dem's are steering toward communism through policies like defunding police, open borders, and resentful wealth confiscation.

America actually runs the risk of re-establishing productive and profitable relationships with allies again, if the dems get elected. And the world can go back to having respect and affection for the place again. Imagine? No more forever wars. No more humiliation. They could get rid of rhe cancer, the 14 foot crocodiles, and the historic corruption. What a thought.

Thanks, Ted. Spot on. The ideological comments from the international left never factor into my scorecard,especially when you consider how many of these groups openly sympathize with radical ideologies synonymous with over 100 million deaths from violent historical purges. Communism has always functioned as a death cult, and its economic ideas are a recipe for poverty.

Pollster Adam Carlson says his survey, which was commissioned by the pro-El-Sayed veterans group Common Defense, found that all democrats led GOP candidate Mike Rogers.

However, Carlson said he was surprised that El-Sayed – the most progressive of the trio – was able to buck conventional wisdom and have the largest lead over the republican."
