With 18 million Americans unable to pay for the prescriptions their doctors give them, Biden is bragging because some people might survive after all now. He says Bidenomics will lower costs so “folks will have a little more breathing room.” It’s totally delusional to expect the 80% of Americans who live with daily economic struggle to show up all excited to vote in 2024 for “a little more breathing room.” #MedicareForAll #EconomicBillofRights

The Inflation Reduction Act is going to lower costs, save lives for people who forgo drugs because they can’t afford them, and give folks a little more breathing room. That’s what Bidenomics is all about.

so weird that Biden can’t wave his magic or dictator wand and just do this. It’s almost like he needs assistance from the house and senate. So strange……….ffs

Good try but that’s not the issue. All such drugs should be free as they are in any other advanced democracy, yet the president has said he would veto a Medicare for All Bill. When he tried to put $15 an hour minimum wage into the Covid relief bill and the Parliamentarian (unelected, and with no actual political power) stopped him, he should have done what George Bush did and simply fired the Parliamentarian. (ffs)

That would of had to have been done by Schumer and other Democratic leaders opposed it, plus doing that would have likely have pissed Manchin off who was already on the fence about passing the American Rescue Plan, raising the minimum wage is very important but it wasn’t worth the risk of sinking the whole stimulus package. The fact you can’t see this shows your lack of experience in passing legislation which you have never done before.

GOOD TRY Marianne - DRUGS ARE NOT FREE IN CANADA UNLESS YOU HAVE JOB RELATED BENEFITS AND ONLY FREE IF YOU AND YOUR PARTNER CAN COORDINATE BENEFITS. You keep lying instead of directing your anger at GOP SENATORS who refuse to act for the American People.

Until Biden is called out for being the genocidal, racist, money-whore that he is, all Democrats are complicit. And that includes you, Marianne.

absolutely drug prices are too high with $$$ for drug co. that get funded by us, however the house and senate lobbied and paid for by special interest (on many issues) keep it this way. Low voter turnout guarantees it will stay this way. Pres. can sign executive order & then what

You keep promoting "advanced" EU Ademocracies like what they're offering their population is stable. I'm not sure that you understand the way they conduct their Healthcare business. To me this sounds mostly like propaganda, not fact. "ffs"? Sigh. Not your best spiritual self.

I think the parliamentarian is more in the hands of the Speaker of the House. washingtonpost.com/archive/p…

Joe said if it's paid for or raises tax on the middle class and has adverse effects on the budget, he would veto it. Bernie couldn't get the $15min wage bill passed. Just like you wouldn't be able to get any major bills passed. You guys are hot air machines.

Can you force the wider democrat party to adopt your policies? (The country would be better if it had them ofc)

Drugs are NOT free in most other advanced democracies. Even in the UK, which is one of the very few that actually has socialized medicine (not just UHC), prescriptions are not free. This is basic stuff. How can you not know this??
