Good thing that we finally have the Republicans in control. They wanted to lower the taxes for companies for years now to not strangulate their profits. Now that they have finally bigger profits it's time for them to trickle down in form of cheaper medication. Right? Right?

Greed knows no bounds.

Theres no reason why it should cost 2 or 3 times as much in the US, as the rest of the world, and you get a worse service, that takes care of less (%) than other nations.

Its just greed, nothing else.

Lowering taxes for companies great.... but why do you think that ll help lower prices? they ll take the tax breaks, and laugh all the way to the bank, while you still pay the same for it.

 

What you need are major regulations, that limit the market place (so these companies dont keep screwing you over).

But regulations are evil and they are killing jobs. Haven't you learned anything from businessman Trump? Regulating companies means that at some point there will be no jobs anymore, except for the ones that the Mexicans are stealing. Then nobody will have money for healthcare anymore.

Also, regulation and government intervention is the opposite freedom. You are literally killing bald eagles.
