She accused the wrong party. pharma didn't create the regulatory environment in which they operate. Congress did that with the help of the FDA. She's a member of Congress. She should help lead the charge to clean up her own House. (Damn, I crack up myself. Imagine Ocasio leading anything)

yes, she sounds sophomoric sometimes. Seeing the posturing of the US defending against Iranian aggression should make her wake up and see that there are more important things to worry about in the very short-term than golf Delta climate change.

Jack, as you can tell, I'm giving a chance fourth open discussion. I will say this, I had to buy some inhalers for my kids in 4th World Honduras and I was able to get legitimate asthma inhalers for my kids for about half the price they cost in Canada. In Honduras, stuff that could be prescribed for can be sold over the counter with the licensed pharmacist right there! At the hotel I was staying at, the owners are two doctors who happen to own a hotel that are relatives of one of my cousins.

Agreed! See this clear comparison contrasting Canadian policies on drug manufacturing and United States policies. https://catalyst.nejm.org/price-crossing-border-medications/

Health risks faced by many Americans who can't afford medications necessitate consideration of alternative strategies to provide less expensive drugs.
