Seize Big Pharma: Nationalize and Internationalize All Medicine!
The Socialist Program with Brian Becker - Podcast tekijän mukaan The Socialist Program
On today's episode we discuss the frantic effort by pharmaceutical corporations to keep prescription drug prices -- and their profits -- sky high. As part of the proposed social spending budget, Congress is considering a measure to negotiate hundreds of billions of dollars of savings on prescriptions covered by Medicare. This would fund major expansions to Medicaid and Medicare services, but right-wing Democrats backed by big pharma are doing everything they can to block it.
