Conservatards can't respond intelligently to a harsh t***h about their precious corporations screwing folks, not only with Congress' blessings but their help, so they divert the topic with childish crap about s**t that doesn't matter.


Why do you think conservatives own or control the big corporations? Admit it, you know that Libs are too stupid or lazy to run a big business.

I thought you were a conservative? Why should pharmaceuticals be regulated at all? So long as insurance companies pay the price drug companies are free to raise prices as high as they can. Their job is to provide a maximum profit for their stockholders not provide cheap medication for their customers.

Peepee, is Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, a conservative"? How about Google founder, Sergey Brin? Google employees were the second-largest corporate donor bloc to President Barack Obama’s ree******n campaign. How about Microsoft founder Bill Gates? Is he "conservative"? Or Berkshire Hathaway's friend of obammy, Warren Buffet? Is he a "conservative"? Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg of Facsbook, are they considered "conservative'? Exxon, as an oil company, may be something of a h**e totem among moonbats, but it has spent big — billions big — on renewables and global social programs. Johnson & Johnson’s health-care policy shop is run by Liz Fowler, one of the architects of the ACA and a former special assistant to President Obama. The two largest recipients of JPMorgan cash in 2016 were b***h clinton and the Democratic National Committee, and the bank’s billionaire chairman, Jamie Dimon, is a high-profile supporter of Democratic politicians including obammy and reportedly rejected an offer from trumpy to serve as Treasury secretary. Wells Fargo employees followed JPMorgan’s example and donated $7.36 to b***h clinton for every $1 they gave to trumpy, and the recently troubled bank has sponsored events for the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, and other gay-rights groups, as well as donated to local Planned Parenthood franchises. Are they all "conservatives"?

10. CVS Health

Why don't you admit that you know nothing about which you drivel?

Most political, social and economic issues are not drawn along definitive liberal/conservative, left/right proverbial lines in the sand as most simpletons here on OPP and everywhere envision.

Read this and get back to me, IF your interested in broadening your understanding. Obviously most here were not interested as no one commented. They don't like things that upset their narrow vision of what is "left" and what is "right".

The first paragraph of the article says it all:

"Did you catch 60 Minutes last night? If you did, you may have learned about a drug called Acthar that went from $40 in 2001 to over $40,000 today. It’s a perfect illustration of just how poorly regulated the US pharmaceutical industry continues to be and how there’s absolutely no good reason for the extreme prices Americans pay for medicine."

Poorly regulated? The US pharmaceutical industry is regulated EXACTLY like big pharmaceuticals dictate to Congress. To intentionally keep out competition and enable them to maximize profits in the multi-BILLIONS. The same way Congress "regulates" all big corporations. Not for the benefit of the general citizenry but for the benefit of CEOs and stockholders.

Too bad clean water, clean air and clean land doesn't have Millions of dollars to bribe our Congress.

This could not be. If that is true, owners of this company need to be arrested.
No one could afford that drug, so that people will die. The FDA approves that?

Yeah, the article was bit lengthy. Did you notice he apologized for the length and promise to shorten it.

I do think there is a lot of validity in his comparisons and analogies.

Do you think politicians understand that the lines between what is considered a left/right...liberal/conservative issue, are often intertwined? Like expanding a social program AS liberal but using the conservative authority of the government to enforce it. The ACA is such.

Hey, I'm impressed, seriously. The GOP sabotages and under funds programs so they can be held up as failures. The ACA had oversight provisions that cost $150 million that were going to save billions that the GOP refused to fund. The GOP has always held the ACA up as destined to fail while they actively did everything possible to make it do worse than it could have if good elements were added and tuned up as it went on.
