So you go to the pharmacy and they give you a pile of adderal and, like $2000? Way better than socialism.
If y’all thought you had an illegal immigrant problem before, lemme tell ya…
So now they pay people absurd amounts to take drugs?
He’s a pedo who failed math class, especially real life math class like this.
Yeah, it’s true. I just went to get my son’s inhaler, and the pharmacy paid me 14 times what I normally pay them for it. Thank you, Mr. President.
Fucking what? Am I going to receive a check for hundreds of dollars next time I pick up my Adderall?
You understand basic math and percentages. You’re definitely not a Trump voter!
For them this is a huuuuuuge win 🫠
Lol.
I grew up in the 90s. If someone had told me America was roughly 20 years out from letting a felon rapist pedophile roll over the U.S. while it just stood by and watched I simply would have dismissed it as absurd.
Such a comically pathetic nation.
You grew up with clinton and Bush and didnt quite see a trend there?
In their defense I don’t think most people knew what trends to look for since such skills are attached to historical literacy the long suffering child of the humanities. History ain’t boring the way it’s taught in elementary, middle, and highschool is shit, rather than focusing on the push and pull of history, society, culture, and economics they focus on ye olde facts that have the same general depth as one of my ancestor trade ledgers. There’s a tale in said facts but it takes a good bit of skill to weave it back together.
you forgot mentally unstable
Wait, doesn’t this mean they have to pay us? If a drug used to cost $1000/year, the drug companies will now have to pay us $1,400/year to take it, right?
Google search trends identifies concerning uptick in “how to give yourself cancer” as a search term.
You’re missing a zero. $14,000 in your pocket.
The number of people who think this is really going to happen is sadly large and I weep for the loss of our species’ collective cognitive capabilities.
No one thinks this is really going to happen.
You’re right. I’m not used to dealing with such large sums of cash.
Get used to it. Trump is gonna give us all a 15x rebate on medications! 🙄
It’s the newest junk manwha “after being reborn in the United States I was cursed with every dibilitating disease but my medical card grants me a 15x cashback reward system!”
wtf does this even mean and how does he or any of his sycophants think this could possibly be implemented outside of a command economy?
Guess we’re getting a command economy, everyone. Hold on to your butts.
I’m sure they’ll blame the “socialists” and “communists” when it doesn’t work.
Well, if you switch to a command economy, they’d be kind of right…
Explain
Trump cannot and will not lower drug prices. That’s just another lie… Oh, how about the Eppstein files? He could certainly publish those, but he won’t for obvious reasons – almost as obvious as the reasons for not lowering drug prices.
Well he certainly cannot lower them 1500%
Ok, but what about 1499%?
But he certainly can raise prices by 1500% once this pedo thing is over — probably a Freudian slip — he will probably do everything humanly possible to increase prices by that percentage since the lobby offered him and his cronies good terms.
You mean you’re NOT getting a fat check every time you pick up your prescription?
Well, MAGA followers can’t do the math any better than trump himself. My thoughts … two months from now drug prices went up, the difference flows to DJT and his inner circle while MAGA celebrate the new prices
He added, “We want the same prices Europe gets, we want the same prices other country gets.”
Europeans pay very little for healthcare because they use a system designed to provide affordable healthcare and not to enrich the wealthy…
It’s a single entity that buys all the drugs and distributes it out where it’s needed. It’s called buying power and is very effective in negotiating a deal. They also allow generic drugs in most cases, so the patients and hospitals have options and are not held for ransom by big pharma.
“But if the “single entity” does not buy enough (because the government cut the budget), THEN PEOPLE DIE!” - something I vaguely remember from debates one time the US considered possibly offering something approaching centralized health care.
I don’t know how the fuck it works. I assume the “single entity” just buys more and the government doesn’t cut the budget?
A real country informa a pharmaceutical what they will pay per dose for certain drugs, and if no company will agree then they will open their own labs to produce the drugs at cost. Free marker capitalism is incompatible with human decency
Here in the States, we call that system communism.
“We want the benefits without the ‘communism’, please and thank you.” -Capitalism-brained Americans
Better Red than dead!
Fuck the EDF!
sorry Red Faction: Guerrilla has irrevocably changed my associations of certain phrases. Damn good game also my first PS3 game.
They were supposed to save us! Time to burn it all down.

Oh, this ISN’T the onion.
This guy needs to be in a home, this is not healthy behaviour.
Edit: are they trying to say a 33% drop?
My guess is someone told him the markup on drugs in the USA is 1,500% so he reversed the logic without understanding how percentages work.
There is no reason to waste time trying to make sense of the word vomit.
MAGA supporters will believe him because they don’t understand percentages.
They also like rapists, as long as that rapist wears red.
“ya mean per penny???”
3500% percent of them will believe him. The other 3% are rinos.
I thought this was an onion article. Then I realized it’s not……
The full article on Forbes gives some terms more or less guaranteeing that companies will simply stop distributing in the US. Or raise global pricing to match US levels.
