Analysis: Lawmakers are trying to prove they're serious about lowering drug costs

But how much drug makers should actually worry remains to be seen.

AHH: The Trump administration has appealed a pair of federal court rulings that blocked programs in Kentucky and Arkansas requiring able-bodied Medicaid beneficiaries to work in order to qualify for coverage. Kaiser Health News conducted an analysis of data from the University of Michigan and found hundreds of suicides by older adults every year may be related to long-term care. “Thousands more people may be at risk in those settings, where up to a third of residents report suicidal thoughts, research shows,”These suicides are raising questions about the facilities where they're taking place.

“Found in hospitals and long-term care facilities, it can quickly lead to death in patients who have weakened immune systems or other underlying serious medical problems,” Kaitlyn and Lindy write. “More than one in three patients with an invasive infection of the fungus has died, the CDC said.”Sen. Bernie Sanders introduces the Medicare for All Act of 2019, on Capitol Hill.

In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders panned the proposal, instead touting a plan the president has vowed to produce. “McConnell has not yet said whether he’ll bring the health care bill, introduced Wednesday, up for a vote, but some Republicans are hopeful he will,” Politico’s Marianne Levine, Adam Cancryn and Alice Miranda Ollstein report. “I think it deserves a full debate and a vote and see how many Democrats who are co-sponsors actually support it,” Sen. John Barrasso told them.

My analysis: I don't believe a word they say. Except for Sanders. He has my vote. Here's the dems sinking the Sanders bill to lower drug costs - leg. that had enough R votes to pass. It was the sell-out centrist D votes that sunk it.

If “lawmakers” were actually serious about doing something about our failed healthcare system, they would ALL be backing the MedicareForAllAct

Import generics and Manufacturing Giants will feel the pinch!

Health care has a lot of factors driving prices up. Doctor and Hospital fees are ridiculous. The educated are greedy. You cant shine while you in debt.

Now that Democrats realize the FBI will be investigation their 2016 election crimes, they are shying away from bashing Trump and giving WashPost shiny things to print about.

Good.

98 year old SpeakerPelosi pictured here probably should be the poster girl. She’s old enough to likely need dozens of meds. And. She certainly has had her share of cosmetic reprogramming. She’s an expert all around!

Bullshit. They are OWNED by Big Pharma.

If you really want to prove this, how about actually lowering them? Too radical an idea?

Now it's Trump's problem. Meantime legal Americans suffer! BuildtheFuckinWall Well one answer is to contact their homelands embassy and have them coordinate their return to their families back home. Not that the governments of Central America care but they are their citizens. Why are these kids unaccompanied? It's outrageous that we are no closer to shutting down that border than we were 18 years ago. Apparently some people can't wait for the next act of terrorism to unfold. What are they going to blow up the next time--a stadium? University?
