The fact that it was a social media post is not an interesting part of the story - he could have just as easily said the same thing on TV to the same result. They aren't trying to censor social media as a result.
But prices are going up. Look at the statements your insurance company provides about the reimbursed "cost" of covered generics:
Some experts report that PBMs overcharge for generics; The Wall Street Journal estimated that Cigna and CVS Health, both of which own PBM services, are able to charge prices for specialty generic drugs that are 24 times higher than what manufacturers charge.
So this must be worldwide. It seems like the patents held by big pharma are the root of the corruption. What is the guarantee here? That the chemicals are pure, or just that the companies are getting their cut?
Generic is the English word for it. The brand name drugs have a limited time patent and they are supposed to help cover the initial research and development costs of bringing that drug to market.
Huge caveats. The drug manufacturer gets over a decade of market exclusivity which bars the selling of generic versions of the medication, which they can then extend again if they find another distinct use case for the medication (3 more years). This is why the Vyvanse generic took so long.
Seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater here. If you dump your ballot at the last possible minute in a box, your vote might not count. That was a risk before and maybe a slightly bigger risk now. So don’t do that. If you’re not sure, go vote in person.
What lawsuits? It means that more ballots will not be accepted, but if anything it should (very slightly) strengthen the case for people who claim they voted on time but were postmarked inaccurately.
