talk about a room of criminals
We all know that they're Crooks and they are being watched over by other Crocs. I don't think anything will come of this
This quote doctor was writing prescriptions that was paid by the US government. He had no concern of the cost of the drugs
I guess I'll be looking somewhere else what a rip off and a slap in the face of us hard working Americans
We need better negotiators in government and give them a bigger stick. This crowd needs to be brought under control.
I'd like to also mention that many of these drugs are researched and developed in our institutions of Higher Learning which is funded by the US government

I wouldn't say the gov funds research at institutions of higher learning completely. Much of the work is done by students who are not compensated for their efforts. In fact, they pay tuition to participate. This all changes if Biden forgives student loans though.
He said it again the value of our product to save people's lives allows us to increase the price tenfold
Corruption corruption corruption
Call Bernie I agree to everything you said in your opening statement. But my question is what are you going to do about it?

He's gotten big pharma to lower insulin to $35 pretty big deal
First thing out of the month is change a executive is diversity second was not how much we can charge and make a profit but how bad do you need it
Did I hear that right 19.00 to manufacture and $17,000.00 for the value of this oroduct to saving people's lives. Criminal

Probably cost a nickel per pill
They can charge inflated prices to insurance company and make patient pay 20% double dip in U.S.A.
A gym membership and regular exercise (150 minutes per week of elevated heart rate) is much cheaper than prescription drugs. This doesn't work for everyone, but it make a significant dent on the numbers of people with various metabolic syndrome issues, like Type 2 Diabetes.

May I suggest with these unlimited hearings when goverment/ leader stands up & comes to question see $$& amount of donated contributions,miscellaneous lunch/dinner/drinks/each corporation has donated, traded, or bought votes. Americans be able to see all facts.
Again value-based same thing as saying how well does it save lives

What’s up with the Johnson and Johnson person? He doesn’t look real 👀. Either he’s being added in with green screen or something and he’s not real that…or I don’t know…it’s visibly different. It’s weird.

Stay as far away from the Sick Care system as possible.
Didn't Trump say that he was or had negotiated with drug companies that we wouldn't pay more than other countries? I've lost my state assistance because my Social Security income is over the limit. Luckily, I'm have Medicare which at least allows me a copay and not full cost. (No generic available) Today, I'm picking up my prescription that lists at 632.00/30 days supply (Jensen/J &J). There are no copay assistance for anyone without insurance, even if they don't qualify for Medicaid. If you have insurance, they make you pay the deductible without any discount. I have Medicare and "Advantage" insurance. Today, I'll pay $342.00 for my 30 day supply with my insurance. To be fair, I'm in the process of changjng my insurance so that copay will go down considerably. I have 2 inherited blood disorders and had a pulmonary embolism because of it. Changing my insurance will help in drug purchases, I lose coverage elsewhere. I hope something cimes of this but in 2026, generics will be allowed to become available.
Hey I have an idea how about get secretary yelling to to pull those 6 billion taxpayer dollars out of North Korea that they got just sitting there Barney good job🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
First off our premiums are high because of Obamacare, so tell the truth guys.
Going affher them while other companies do the same thing. But you got to look at it this way. If it wasn’t for the rich living off the poor there be no one to buy expensive stuff that we build and cater to them… We all be the same with nothing to do except eat.
Never trust a person who took his wife to the Soviet Union for their honeymoon

So it's not cool if anybody else makes money they say it out loud but they don't say nothing when they making that dollar and what was that saying show me a politician that makes millions while supposed to be serving the people just about screams crook congratulations on the great job no one else can do it just you guys whatever
Other than Trump Bernie would have been better than JB. We'd be safer I believe.
