Good

Why should we Americans pay more than foreigners for research done by our fellow citizens. Remember who fights your wars. Don’t forget the story about a flag that’s finally rested. Fulfilling promises; the 50th State price for admission. Ask our nevernavy what I’m talking about

Release the cures BigPharma

Pfizer CEO is so objective about drug prices !!!! Wow.

There is a Viagra joke in there somewhere... 🤔

Good. Fuck big pharma.

Good. I wasn't able to get the rx my doctor gave me today because it was over $600. The industry needs to be upended.

Good!! My medicine shouldn’t cost $15,000 for 90 days supply. A limit needs to be set. I’m hoping this is one step closer to fixing these crazy high prices

Good, that's exactly what the people want.

That dude alone made over $16 Million last year. Gfy

Good. F 'em.

Oh, this really hurts to admit... but great job President Trump. F-Pfizer.

Get more market share, problem solved.

Good.

Cry me a river

well, a distraction can be/turn into destruction. either way, a racket reincarnated Jesus would most def put on His 'this-time-around' shit list.

Maybe it's about time!!!
