Born To Slay 10,996 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Allowing Americans to purchase lower-priced medicines from other countries would save the federal government alone more than $6 billion, according to a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office. The report comes as the pharmaceutical industry has ramped up its lobbying — including against a legislative initiative that would let Americans purchase lower-priced medicines from countries such as Canada. http://www.ibtimes.com/political-capital/bernie-sanders-drug-price-bill-would-save-billions-congressional-analysts-say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalixSpurius 540 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't think it can pass considering it would kill manufacturing leg of pharmaceutical sector; marketing, research & development & clinical studies are not enough to uphold the sector.

Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Great for consumers but it won't pass because the pharma industry here has a lot of influence. Also, yes the pharma industry controls a lot here but we also don't want to kill the domestic pharma industry. So idk how to feel and I'm not educated enough on this topic to have a firm position on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenPonyboy 2,434 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It would not kill the domestic pharma industry. They make so much money they will be fine. That is just conservative propaganda to make people beleive there is a reason they pay so high other than pharma just making more money. They are just greedy (valentina is triggered). Meds costs so much in the us and with no real health care plan on the table people should start beibg scared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
