I was speaking to a man in Australia whose father is kept alive due to a pill that costs $30,000. I repeat that, $30,000. The medicine is entirely paid for by Australia’s universal healthcare system, for no other reason than that he is a citizen.1/3

Nothing like that exists here; we’ve been trained to expect crumbs. “Of, by and for the people” has been supplanted by 'of, by and for the corporations,' in this case Big Pharma. Thousand suffer and die each year so a soulless, perverted form of capitalism might live 2/3

Schumer touting this bill as something we should be excited about is pathetic. He should be naming names & taking no prisoners, expressing outrage felt by millions that our govt could do no better than get such tiny concessions from the cold & greedy fingers of Big Pharma. 3/3

But if that Australian man published evidence of USA war crimes they would ship him overseas in an instant. Pitiful puppet state that doesn’t stand for anything other than imperialism. #FreeAssange

I REPEAT: U (Uvlade#Oxfordstrong), via Terror War, are paying how much: $5,ooo,ooo/Bomb with which Ur littering the South Pacific & Ukraine regions? If Australia paid their part of the S. Pacific bill they couldn’t do that. Add that to the U.S.’s lack of compassion=NO WAY❤️🇺🇸🙏🏽

Depending on the number of times he has to take that pill, the cost benefit will eventually price him out of coverage. Universal health care or not.

Bullshit for money to control one's life. People, chicken, maize remains the same HOWEVER VALUE OF MONEY CHANGES EVERY MINUTE. Money doesn't work. One can't eat money. Criminals invented money by law for SLAVERY TO FINANCE DEBT. Judges lie for SLAVERY to FINANCE their salaries!
