Today, Medicare’s $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket drug costs goes into effect.
That’s good progress, but we still have a long way to go.
We must take on PHARMA greed. Americans should not be paying, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
We must make health care a human right.
We are the wealthiest nation on earth.
There is no rational reason why we are not the healthiest nation on earth.
If we’re going to reform our broken & dysfunctional health care system and “Make America Healthy Again,” this is some of what we must do.

The median family income in the US has gone from 10K in 1971 to 55K today, a gain of 5.5x
however,
The median cost of a car has gone from 4K to 48K, an increase of 12x.
The median cost of a house has gone from 25K to 357K, an increase of 14x.
The median cost of an ivy league college has gone from 3K a year to 87K, an increase of 29x.
The average cost of healthcare per person has gone from $400 to $15,000, and increase of 37x.
Basically, the average person in the US is worse off today than in 1971. So much for "progress"
How bad is the economy they’re handing Trump?
The Philly Fed is flagging another 653,000 fake jobs. On top of the 818,000 BLS revised away last year.
Of course left-wing media will blame it all on Trump.
@ElonFactsX @elonmusk I assure you, for the average American, we are very stressed. Times are not easy. We dont have health care, because we cant afford it. We are loosing our homes because we can no longer afford them. A family used to be able to live off of ONE income - AS IT SHOULD. 9-5 is now 8-5
Senator Bernie Sanders unveils his “Make America Healthy Again” plan, proposing a higher minimum wage, a 32-hour workweek with full pay, Medicare for All, and paid family leave.

This woman worked for UnitedHealthcare in the claims department, she was taught “thousands” of ways to deny people
“I'm here to talk about one specific claim”
- A widowed woman would call 3x a day because UnitedHealthcare was taking her to court
- Her husband had just passed from pancreatic cancer, and this was a hospice claim
- They were already garnishing her wages, and this was less than 60 days after he died
By the way, she was left with 5 boys by herself, she was a stay at home mom her whole life. She was just trying to figure out life
There was absolutely no reason why we couldn't just submit this claim and be done, but they told me every which way to deny this to get her off of our phone line. It was absolutely despicable.”
The claim they went after her for, from her now dead from cancer husband, was roughly $500,000. HALF A MILLION from a woman who had nothing
