“The Biden administration on Thursday endorsed an aggressive proposal to limit prices for prescription drugs, calling for the government to negotiate with drug makers on prices and applying those prices not just to Medicare but to all drug purchasers in the country,” the New York Times reports.

“The administration cannot make such large changes on its own; it amounts to a signal to congressional Democrats. Democratic leaders in Congress have suggested that they hope to regulate prices in some way as part of the $3.5 trillion legislative package now being considered.”

1. That's it Biden. Take the $3.5 trillion bill apart and sell its parts. They

are very popular. Don't just say $3.5 trillion.

2. Recently, some organization has been running ads on various TV channels saying that negotiating

drug prices amounts to the the "government deciding what drugs you are allowed to take."

While everyone should be on board for drug price negotiations, this will be another tough fight with a lot of lies and misinformation.

3. I saw that ad I think. The visuals were so cheery and the message such bull****.

4. Next time, I'll write down the organization involved. Of course, it's probably a fake shell.

5. Saw it again. It said at the end "paid for by pharma". I guess it wasn't cheery.

It was a nice house and a woman doing the dishes while talking. I actually love doing dishes. That is why I thought it was cheery.
