Biden and the Dims just lost all of those votes,and the votes of their family members.

Some of them might not vote for Trump,but they won't be voting Dim.

Biden and his cabinet seem to be the best vote recruiting group the Republicans have going.

I hope you're right about this but for some reason it seems that DCP disciples always vote DCP no matter how bad it gets. Just look what happened in Kalifornia with Newsom. The first thing that idiot does after not losing the recall is sign more job killing laws. The guy is a complete idiot and DCP sheeple vote for it.

Well, maybe they do and maybe they don't but that's the way it ends up getting counted. :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

US Set to Pay $712 Per Patient for Merck’s COVID-19 Pill

https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/us-set-to-pay-712-per-patient-for-mercks-covid-19-pill_4050864.html?utm_source=News&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-10-16-3&mktids=13aafc03c66a108c0f984ef613c421ff&est=kzM9WU2YaBHcXi04PWNgXpLsd5N5IO1TwhZcvUwj4Ohme2hKIsqyOKS%2FaNTnUZo%3D

Quote
Merck is set to get $712 per treatment course for its COVID-19 pill from the U.S. government—even as it costs a fraction of that to produce, and is reportedly on track for a price of $12 in India.

The gap between production costs and the price for molnupiravir is gigantic and emblematic of a problem some say requires Congress or the U.S. government to intervene, implementing price caps or utilizing so-called march-in rights. Others, though, warn that such measures would curb innovation and lead to fewer drugs coming onto the market.

Merck filed for emergency use authorization,,,


HCQ/Zithromax/Zinc or Ivermectin/doxycyline/zinc would have cost about $20/course....

And would do a better job. Why does the pill cost $712 in the US but only $12 in India?

BOHICA! (we're all insured since the ACA, don'tcha know--and other stupid democrat fantasies.)

Besides, this is a gimmie from gubmint to Pharma, which will be returned in PAC money and other goodies...

The whole d@mned sh*tshow has been just that, with a big dash of totalitarianism and mass hysteria thrown in.

You just can't tell me people like this Trooper will be sympathetic toward any totalitarian nonsense, not now, not in the future.

The enemies of the Republic are building the resistance, one dedicated person at a time.

In India, the patient is the customer.  In the US, the insurance company is the customer.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Medicaid, Medicare, Insurance companies. More often than not, they'll get what they charge.

@Smokin Joe

Who is going to stop them?

Certainly not the people who are supposed to regulate them,but rely on their campaign contributions to buy the votes to stay in office.

BINGO!!!

You have correctly identified the fundamental problem!

India imposes comprehensive price controls on prescription medication.  It has nothing to do with the patient being the customer.

Perhaps, but the Pharma Companies wouldn't do business there if they were not making money.
