Our tax dollars subsidize research and development for new medications. In exchange for taxpayer dollars these same pharmaceutical companies charge Americans the highest prices in the world. Make it make sense.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Is the US list price for Eliquis $7,100?

Bristol Myers CEO: Yes.

Does your company make a profit selling Eliquis in Canada for $900?

Bristol Myers CEO: Yes.

Will you lower the US price of Eliquis down to the price in Canada?

Bristol Myers CEO: No.

Eliquis costs $18 to make

Seniors are getting stuck in Medicare “Disadvantage” plans.

China sells America cancer drug for $280. American pharmaceutical companies sell it to Americans for $8,892. Make it make sense? RT if you believe in Medicare for All.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

"China’s new cancer drug Toripalimab is approved in the US but will cost 30 times more.

In China, a single-dose vial costs US$280 but in the US it will have a wholesale price of US$8,892."

This case is particularly interesting because high drug prices in the US are always sold to the public as "the cost of innovation", but obviously in this case the innovation happened in China so it's pretty crystal clear it's in fact just Americans getting screwed by their healthcare system...

RT if you agree that we need Medicare for All.

[NC Medicare for All Coalition: NCM4A @Ncm4A]

ENOUGH.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Holy Hell.

Big Pharma is suing the government to stop Medicare from negotiating prescription drug prices.

The provision would save taxpayers $100,000,000,000 over the next decade.

We can’t let Big Pharma win. Please share this.

If healthcare is a right, then you should support Medicare for All.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

On my watch, health care is a right not a privilege in this country.

[NC Medicare for All Coalition: NCM4A @Ncm4A]

Medicare “Advantage” is a scam private health insurance scheme. Join our coalition and find out why supporting Medicare is important.

[Branko Marcetic @BMarchetich]

The private insurance industry, here channelled through the Medicare Advantage program, is so rapacious it turned a two-term GOP state rep. into a Medicare for All supporter.

Death panels currently exist under our cruel private health insurance system. People are dying because their insurance companies deny them life saving treatments. RT if you want to help fight for #MedicareForAll

Insurance Says No to Cancer Surgery

The Mom completed 20 rounds of chemo in prep for the surgery, but her insurance denied coverage. Oncologist Dr. Yuman Fong wrote to Anthem Blue Cross saying the surgery was a proven treatment for 30 yrs.

Again "No."

Medicare for All now!

[NC Medicare for All Coalition: NCM4A @Ncm4A]

We want our tax dollars to be used for our healthcare. #medicareforall

[CODEPINK @codepink]

This #TaxDay the average US taxpayer paid:
$474 for soldiers
$1,087 for military contractors
$74 for nuclear weapons
$2,375 for military spending in total

vs.

$270 for public education
$43 for the CDC
$21 for the EPA
$6 for renewable energy

Is this where our priorities are?

[NC Medicare for All Coalition: NCM4A @Ncm4A]

We need Medicare for All.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The members of Trinity Moravian Church in North Carolina purchased nearly $3.3 million of local residents’ medical debt for just $15,048.

Then, they held a debt jubilee ceremony and burned up the debt, canceling it all.

[NC Medicare for All Coalition: NCM4A @Ncm4A]

RT if you support universal healthcare.

[NC Medicare for All Coalition: NCM4A @Ncm4A]

As Americans are suffering from record inflation of consumer goods, the health insurance companies have decided to raise their rates by 24%... in ONE YEAR. Enough is enough. #MedicareForAll RT if you agree.

[The Lever @LeverNews]

Health insurers just jacked up their prices by 24% in a single year, according to new government data.

Really think about that. https://t.co/0tAy9uUEjG
