It's not just big pharma, it's insurance, too.
My brother's cancer doctor wanted him to have Proton Radiation Therapy. His insurance wouldn't approve it. Insurance wanted him to have Photon Radiation Therapy, which is cheaper. The hospital agreed to take a lesser pmt., they refused, still to pay.
Big pharma is indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists we need to worry about, not someone from another country. They're right in your back yard, running multi billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Money has trumped integrity.
Sociopathic.
Wow! He looks genuinely pissed off! I recently read an article in ProPublica about a drug for multiple myeloma. A blood cancer that eats away at your bones. The pills are $1000 ea. So, it’s $30k per month! Many people just gave up & let the excruciatingly painful disease take them.
the felon did that when he lifted the cap Biden had on insulin. Dr.'s scramble to try and get samples, people died because they couldn't afford it. Charge him for the death of those people.
Repugnicans don’t care. They are soulless. Spirituality dead. They have abandoned morality, empathy,the rule of law; the constitution and instead chosen to pledge their allegiance and fealty to a viper in the road.
For heaven sake, we have a strong voice in Corey Booker. Why isn't he leading our party in the senate? We lost valuable time in 2024. We can't afford to be wimpy anymore. Schumer needs to do the right thing and resign and allow Sen Booker to lead. Do it for our party to save America. Literally.
You need to borrow Republican framing of this issue. Do you not remember their scare tactics during the passing of the ACA? Call these big pharma DEATH PANELS!! Every Senator needs to frame it that way. They decide who lives or dies.
Life in a wheelchair isn’t always easy, but I’m determined to keep moving forward. I’m fundraising for an enclosed mobility scooter to stay active, independent, and connected. Every bit of help counts. Your kindness fuels my journey. Details on my GoFundMe. A share or gift. https://gofund.me/0af928df
Cory Booker you have my vote should you decide to run for President - and I hope you do and if so you will wipe the floor with whatever loser republican they choose to run - even if it’s Trump
“What the (ed: your) tweet ignores is that Booker stopped taking money from pharmaceutical industry PACs and top executives. Since 2016, Booker received zero dollars from drug makers and individual contributions have fallen by 75%.”
THIS FUCKING BITCHHH AINT NOTHING BUT A BIG HO. THESE POLITICIANS ARE SOULLESS GREEDY SNIVELING BELLY CRAWLING WHORESSSS FOR SALE!!!!! THEY MAKE ME SICKKK 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It's worse than corrupt violence @booker.senate.gov
They are serial killers - use the correct words & call it what it is booker.
You and your buddies have been allowing them to legally kill us - 60,000+/yr.
Don't church it up!! Call it what it is - mass murder.
Otherwise, I appreciate what you did.
One need not hold a Johns Hopkins degree to grasp that withholding a life-sustaining drug results in preventable death. To possess such knowledge and remain indifferent is not mere neglect; it borders on criminal and ethical dereliction, a malpractice of conscience against the poor and vulnerable.
More like, "I think Trump just lied again about fixing something while his oligarchs prepare to make more money." How about Americans pay the same price as Europe and the rest of the world pay?
Wait: Booker was one of 8 bought by Pharma Dems who fought against -- and DEFEATED --Biden's comprehensive drug plan and helped defeat it. Hed needs to be honest abiout that, then maybe I'll believe his "conversion." Know this, I want to believe him, but I'm not falling for lies. #PROVEItBooker
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WITH A REPUBLICAN MAGTARD VOTING BASE FILLED WITH REDNECKS, GRADESCHOOL DROPOUTS, INTRAVENOUS DRUG ADDICTS AND DEGENERATE INBREEDERS RUNNING AROUND WAVING VOTING CARDS LIKE IT'S A GRAD SCHOOL DIPLOMA FROM PRINCETON...THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ANNUAL COMPETENCY EXAM TO BE ABLE TO VOTE
The United States and New Zealand are the only countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise on television directly to their patien... consumers.
And big insurance companies are part of it with prior auth. Don't you dare let them off the hook. And ghost networks where you call and call going down the list trying desperately to find *someone* still in business who still takes your insurance and will give you an appointment. Bcbs IL.

They knew the person could die if they didn't get the medication or treatment they needed yet they deny it anyway for profit.
The last living politician w an actual heart.

Let's hope so.
F Big Pharma - The real American drug dealers
Just like cigarettes, they knew they were killing people in this country, yet kept selling them...
WE THE PEOPLE don't put a stop to anything so of course corruption is gonna run wild.

Of course, gerrymandering hasn't helped, though.
Thank You ♥️
