Prescription drug prices have doubled in 7 years. Republicans will of course do jack shit about it

[Billy000]

Wages have remained flat for decades. The cost of living only goes up. Democrats address these issues - republcans don't.

Why does anyone bother with a party that only serves to coddle the rich? I mean seriously. At what point will you people get it? Only government legislation can fix these problems. Rather than accepting this obvious logic, you Rightwingers hold on to this sorry philosophy that Big Pharma and the rest of the private sector can do whatever it wants. It just boggles my mind you people will buy into whatever republcans in office will tell you. NONE of these republican candidates will address this issue. None of them. Get a goddamn clue.

AARP: Price hikes doubled average drug price over 7 years

One thing is that the pharmaceutical companies are raising prices right now due to the threat of price controls by congress.
they are trying to get as much as they can before patents run out and to recover the cost of research that failed.
The biggest increase right now is actually the fault of Valeant, a Canadian company that is buying up other pharmaceutical companies, getting rid of their Research and development departments ( why keep another companies expensive R&D when you can use your own ) and then raising the price on the medications.
the insurance companies can negotiate lower prices because they are considered to purchase in large quantities, most pharmaceutical companies also have lower rates for those that are poor.
the ones that really get hurt are those that dont have a prescription plan and have to pay out of pocket.
Regardless of this, the increase is on average around 19% it has not doubled, although there are a few medications that have doubled.

Who's been the president for the last 7 years? A Republican? No. Who designed our current healthcare system? Republicans? No. Wise up.

Your right. Lets expand medicaid for all with limits, so everyone gets to see a doctor and employers don't have to pay for it, and also let the free market continue to advance.

So you advance the free market by vastly expanding socialism?

I'm afraid so. The quality of their "arguments" is truly pathetic. Mostly it's little more than dog barking.

 

[CowboyTed]

The Left has come to this with a solution which is running today which makes healthcare affordable and accessible to all...

What has the Right brought up as a solution... HSA??? Really this is not insurance, Here is some money you saved tax free which you plough threw in seconds on anything going wrong... How does a HSA cover Cancer?

No dumbfuck. You are the simpleton. There is a public system and a private system. You will be free to pay as much as you want. Meanwhile the public system will help everyone that needs it and eliminate employers having to pay a bloated for profit insurance company, saving them money.

Your a dumb fuck that wants no govt and anarchy and thinks you will make it on your own as a rugged individualist. In other words you are a moron.

And Democrats are behind the effort to make pot prescription so they can get as many people legally hooked as well.

Let's look at what the Dims did.

They gave us Obamacare.

You know, the legislation Dims crammed down our throats even though Obama had to make immediate exemptions for his own law that he refused to follow.

You know, the legislation that Obama lied about in regards to reduced cost and keeping the same coverage etc.

The ink is not even dry from Obama's signing it into law and all we hear from Hillary and Bernie is the need to replace Obamacare with a single payer system.

You know what, instead of "getting things done" how about making sure that when you do "get things done" you actually stop lying about what it is your doing and stop screwing the American people like you did with Obama care which ended up being the largest tax increase on the Middle Class in US history? How about being accountable for the messes you make instead of just jumping into another massive piece of legislation?

I was laughing the other day as a woman I knew who was an avid Obama supporter was complaining that her insurance premiums when up an astounding $700. Never before had she seen such an increase. I just smiled and said, "If you think that's bad, wait till Bernie and Hillary get done with ya."

Yep, that really pissed her off.
