Ever wonder what the Republican Party stands for these days? Well, your wait for an answer is over.
The skyrocketing cost of Insulin has made the headlines for months. It was also made clear that there was no reason for the big increases in insulin’s cost except price gouging. This is a drug diabetics must have to live! And there are 37 million diabetics in the US. Many families have to choose between food or electricity and insulin
This week the Democrats brought a bill to the floor of the senate that would cap the monthly cost of Insulin at $35. Big Pharma was against it! Big surprise. But, so were 43 Republican senators! They were able to block the legislation. Big Pharma is happy.
So, now you know what the Republican Party stands for: Big Pharma! They also stand for Big Oil, Big Coal, Big Guns—but we won’t go into that here. And while they scream “socialism” for every piece of legislation Democrats propose and promote to help citizens, they are willing to let people die who can’t afford the jacked-up prices of their medicine!
