For years, I’ve called for making high-quality generic drugs here at home so we’re not reliant on foreign countries for access to medication.
@smith.senate.gov and I have a bill to make life-saving drugs in the United States.

In the not so distant future, many Americans will literally have less Health Insurance than they did before the ACA.
We've all been sold out.
That bat signal has been lit!
Any kind of self-reliance we can make happen is an important goal.
This is exactly what you need to be doing--how you would govern differently if you were in charge.
Double the copay, and for folks on fixed incomes, that's extra harsh.
The prescription forms sent to Medicaid had to specifically state that the generic wasn't an acceptable substitute, or Medicaid wouldn't pay.
Importers will use it to raise the price by 100%
Or more
Good
Fuck US and trump
Instead help us organize and fight!
Can't we just bring the guillotine back? 🫠
But we all know, by now, that they will not only find, but MAKE things to fuck up. Kinda like the fact that DOGE (pronounced "douche" by some of us) is one of those manufactured fuck-ups.
They absolutely are weakening us. They need to get gone somehow. I'm all for deporting actual criminals, too, soooo, like...Elon. ASAP.
It does not remove him from office.
Bill Clinton was impeached. He remained in office.
Donald Trump has already been impeached TWICE and remained in office afterward.
I do not want performative political
If there is a reason other than "getting it on the record", I'd like to know what it is, please.
They had no impetus to do so before they full outed themselves as Nazis, and have even less now.

BECAUSE ITS BUSINESS, CAPITALISM AND ITS CHEAPER TO MAKE THEM IN CHINA.
FORCING PHARMECUTICALS TO BE MANUFACTERD IN THE US DOES ONLY ONE THING.
ENRICHES THOSE THAT MAKE THEM.
UNLESS YOUR GOING TO CAP THEIR RETAIL PRICING?:)
Generics are important to make here AND basic components.
From my prior work in the industry as a consultant, pharma supply chains are incredibly convoluted with compounds transversing around the globe for processing - especially biologics!
Now please either don't show up for Trump's carnival act on Tuesday, or walk out on it.
People MUST BE reminded.
What can we do to protest 💩47💩 and “Jr’s” attempt to form an alliance with Putin/Russia??? I hope you read this!!!
This isn't opposition, it's hiding.
Shame.
Will ALL Democrats do this though?
On a different note, address the most critical issue of our time in America.
It’s a COUP!!
Wake up!!
Do your job @warren.senate.gov.
But hey, at least it "looks" like you're trying 🤨
Because access to medication won’t do much if we get nuked.
We have actual footage/documentation of his attacks on US citizens, our veterans, institutions, agencies, threats against land, freedoms and health?
What's our next step? Asking for 200 M+ (many GOP are joining us)
This is positive change…
But instead we have a government that is intent on killing its own people…
Please tell me there are intelligent adults working tirelessly behind the scenes to stop this fascist takeover…
Biden made it possible for Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices; he capped the cost of insulin - Trump reversed all of it as you well know
SO WHAT ACTION- ACTUAL EFFECTIVE ACTION - ARE YOU TAKING
Is that:
Many generics (although cheap to produce & distribute, are not cost effective for money grabbing big pharma).
Too many drugs are available prescription free.
Many US drugs are banned elsewhere due to them being dangerous.
Drug laws need a full rethink.

Did a double take! 😮 My bad.
Constituents all over America are yelling at Congress in town halls telling them exactly what is wrong. Seize the moment, speak for those constituents in their own words.

So, are you awake?
If you aren't enrolled, re-register to vote by tomorrow Monday March 3 or you won't be eligible to vote in next month's special U.S. House election for Josh Weil or Gay Valimont. Get a Vote-By-Mail ballot.
We must promote MASSIVE media coverage & steal 🍊💩’s thunder.
Reporting on the # of Americans joining town halls will send a HUGE message to other potential resistors.
SIGN! Start the momentum! LET’S GOOOO!
