There is strong support among the American people to reduce prescription drug prices. But puppets in the pockets of big pharma dont like it.

Between 2010 and 2016, a handful of the Democratic senators who voted “nay” were amongst the top Senate recipients funded by pharmaceutical companies: Sen. Booker received $267,338; Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) received $254,649; Robert Casey (D-PA) received $250,730; Michael Bennet (D-CO) received $222,000. As the former mayor of Newark, Cory Booker faced corruption scandals and increased crime and unemployment levels as his star power outside the state rose. He is heavily favored by Wall Street, with securities and investment firms donating $1.88 million to Booker during the 2014 midterm elections; their second-favorite candidate was Mitch McConnell.
let see what the full package contained- A BILL comes 100 in a bunch like a Bouquet of Flowers-- usually something with great aroma- and beauty- something the people need and want, along with the thorny green fillers- or what corps want ! i'ts really never about the one bill-- you all need classes?
This is total BS! Big Pharma doesn't want to have to compete like companies in other industries are forced to. These swamp rats need to be drained. I hope Trump pulls the plug.
NO- got to get more info not just about the Canadian imports - they never give us the entire picture- but maybe someone will report the reasons why they said no but- in all that medical talk--:
Senators voted 51-48 to pass a budget resolution that is being used as a vehicle for rolling back the Affordable Care Act.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted against the budget resolution because it didn’t balance, while no Democrat supported the repeal rules.
Instead, Democrats rose one by one from their seats on the Senate floor in protest to state why they were voting against the resolution.
Sen. Bernie : (I-Vt.) warned that if the GOP resolution moved forward Americans would die.
"Up to 30 million Americans will lose their healthcare, with many thousands dying as a result," he said. "Because when you have no health insurance and you can't go to a doctor or a hospital, you die."
Meanwhile, Paul said in a statement after the vote that while he supports nixing ObamaCare, "putting nearly $10 trillion more in debt on the American people’s backs through a budget that never balances is not the way to get there."
would have allowed the importation of drugs from Canada. ahhh well- do we really want this?
Of course we want this! Let the drug companies compete and force them to lower prices. They are getting away with murder. Enough of the big money corruption.
