Astonishing that people are willing to put up with this. #Medicare4All
Last year, while nearly 1 out of 4 Americans could not afford to fill the prescriptions written by their doctors, 6 of the largest drug companies made tens of billions in profits. That is absolutely insane. The time to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry is now.

Big pharma is exporting US jobs over seas. US retirement / boomers leaving the work force is because they are being squeezed out by the companies. We get let go, are told to train the new hire from the foreign person country and be happy or we will take your severance pay.

I don't think this is the right focus. People need to understand that the food they are putting in their mouths is destroying their health. We need to eat real, whole foods, stop buying products with toxic chemicals, get adequate sleep and exercise.

Not to mention that dental and vision care are out of the reach of a huge percentage of the population.

The ... PEOPLE IN CONGRESS ... are the ones allowing this to happen ... I'm not sure the average American even thinks it could change!

The military industrial complex gets funded while the people paying taxes get stiffed. How’s there no revolution yet?

Well, kind of a mixed message don’t you think? Yelling at pharma for their prices while you mandate their products without regard for context… why are you eager to admit their corrupt practices yet how dare we suggest their motivations are not in the interest of public health?

I think it's that people aren't willing to be beaten or shot, or spent 45 years in jail like Leonard Peltier for protesting. Americans live in fear. Fear is the only way they can keep the Empire running. What happens to your children when they jail you?
