Are you ready for a radical idea? The function of our health care system should be to provide quality care for all, not huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies.

Big Pharma is lobbying Congress to delay drug price negotiations by THIRTEEN YEARS. This would likely cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. Congress should be looking out for people, not Big Pharma's inflated profits.

The Supreme Court sided with us and ruled that the Trump admin must obey court orders and pause its illegal freeze on foreign assistance funding. This is a huge win. Listen to our lawyer on the case, Lauren Bateman, break down what this means:

WHO confirmed today that CDC has stopped sharing flu surveillance data through WHO platforms. The U.S. is facing its most intense flu season in 15 years and is grappling with bird flu. Trump’s recklessness is already risking the health of Americans and people worldwide. 1/2

Pres. Trump met with pharma execs on Jan. 31, 2017, weeks after he took office. According to a PhRMA email to HHS, uncovered through FOIA, Trump gave the executives a “follow-up assignment” to present their drug pricing plan.

One of my first big scoops was obtaining a yet-to-be-released executive order the first Trump administration was circulating. I wrote that it sounded like pharma lobbyists wrote it. A new FOIA shows that pharma lobbyists DID write it.

In 2016, Trump said pharma execs are "getting away w/ murder" and pledged to fight to lower drug prices. But as president, Trump's drug pricing plan appears to have been built around a “five-point plan” provided by PhRMA itself. We uncovered this through FOIA 1/

Today Bernie Sanders took the CEO of pharma giant Novo Nordisk to task over the cost of Wegovy. Wegovy, and identical drug Ozempic, could bankrupt Medicare. Big Pharma is charging Americans 10x what people around the world pay — and the effects could be catastrophic.

Over the course of our investigation into the outrageous cost of Ozempic and Wegovy in the U.S., I spoke with the CEOs of major generic pharmaceutical companies who confirmed: They can sell a generic version of Ozempic for $100/mo.

I’m pleased that Eli Lilly took a modest step forward by reducing the starter price of Zepbound. But let's be clear: Even with this modest price reduction, millions of Americans will still be unable to afford the diabetes and weight-loss drugs they desperately need.

Buyer Beware: There is a group called the Council For Affordable Health Coverage @C4AHC that claims to speak for the needs of patients & consumers. It's actually a pharma front group representing industry's interests. Follow this thread to see how @PhRMA hides behind @C4AHC 1/5

Big Pharma companies are abusing the patent system to keep drug prices high at patients’ expense. This is corporate greed at work.

Pharmaceutical companies can make whatever excuses they want for their sky-high drug prices — we know it’s bullshit. And Biden and Bernie just called them on it. If Big Pharma won’t quell its own greed, it’s up to the government to do it for them. citizen.org/news/president…
