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
