Of course they would. Neoliberals love Big Pharma.

Im left of left so I don’t shill and stan for Democrats but do you honestly think that we could have gotten someone like oh I don’t know Sinema on page if you had a bill that said oh you know let’s put a provision in there that says no raising prices ever? Democrats are at the end of the day the lessor of two evils so I don’t know why your post singles out Dems specifically when if it were up to Republicans they prob would have had the provisions expire in Dec of 2021 or some **** 

The point is, the Democrats didn’t even try, and their neoliberal donor base would have complained if they had because price controls = communism to them.

 

For someone who is “left of left,” you sure are big on making excuses for a center-right political party.

@Lose My Breath Bumping this per our other thread convo, and updated the OP slightly to reflect, since there still seems to confusion on this, or little knowledge.

Another example of the top 1% wanting to eradicate those of lower socioeconomic status. The way they have the power to kill us, if they want to, but cutting off essential health resources or making them incredibly expensive and impossible to obtain for less privileged people is so deeply inhumane and disgusting. I want them dead. :)

you didn't answer my question.

Updated the OP to reflect the date extension from Biden in what was originally supposed to be April. 

 

The Republican House is fighting it but that won't get past the Senate. It'll be close but I don't think that'll make it through.

Worthless country

Vaccine for the wealthy who can often choose to work from home.

No affordable vaccine for the working poor who have to turn up 9-5 every week and can't afford to take time off when they are sick, let alone to look after their children and other family members when they get sick.

 

Biden told his rich donors that “nothing would fundamentally change”, so he's keeping his word.
