Con. supporters, when will you get angry with big pharma, insurance companies, big businesses? when it affects you, loved one, friends?

you complain of costs, but say nothing of the skyrocketing cost before the ACA.

we went from a nation of non-profit to insurance companies and big pharma that drove the costs higher and higher each year even though the research, development, infrastructure, and continued development of all things relating to healthcare actually get cheaper and cheaper.

So you want to get angry about cost, why don't you get angry at the people making a life saving drug that cost $20 to make multiple doses but charge the people over $500 for each dose.

Why don't you get angry at the insurance companies and healthcare industry making IV fluid, that is salt water in a plastic bag, cost $2000 on a hospital bill.

and if not getting angry at that, will you get angry after the new bills are signed that will allow insurance companies deny coverage again like in the 90s. Where you, a loved one, family member, friend, need life saving surgery, care, or treatment but are dropped by your insurance company because they don't like that you didn't tell them about a spider bite from 10 years ago or that you broke your finger as a child, etc etc etc.

when exactly are you people going to get angry at big business, big pharma, and all these insurance companies screwing everyone over?

    I'm not against big pharma. I'm just against FDA overreach. How are insurance companies a political issue? Big business is only bad right now because the Democrats have shipped jobs overseas with NAFTA.

    Having worked in Hospital Pharmacy for decades it is amazing just how little you know what you are talking about.

    I just don't know where to start but here's food for thought.

    Before the ACA, and even today, it is illegal for a hospital to refuse to treat a patient because they can't pay.

    there are not dead people lying in the parking lots of our hospitals.

    You know so very little of what you speak of. Hardly worth my time other than to mention it. Oh, here's one. 1968 my broken left arm cost $145 to reset and cast. Including the x-rays, cast changes and final check. Thanks to the Fed and all those tax dollars, what would that cost now? I bet $145 wouldn't even cover the ACA deductable.
