Why???? People all across this country are taking medication for various illnesses and conditions and are already paying more than they can afford. Many people are self-titrating their meds because they are so expensive and they are desperate and suffering. This is a regressive tax placed on the sick and vulnerable. This is heartless. How much more can we take from a man that should be placed in the worst possible nursing home in the world? Send him to his beloved Russia to live in the Gulag where he belongs. Leave Americans alone.

my only question for my congressman at his next town hall is what his impeachment vote is going to be.

The worst and the saddest part about this whole situation is no one of authority is stepping up and forcing these criminals out of our government these murderers, these people who hate the American people🤬🤬 other countries have had the balls to stand up to this man, not the divided states of America🤬🤬🤬

You comment "no one of authority is stepping up" must mean no Republicans. Democrats at all levels are speaking up but they don't have the votes to make a difference. The criminals are each and EVERY ONE of the Republicans in Congress.

It might take force, not votes, but if we start by removing the enablers, we might get there soon.

I just watched an interview with Laurence Summers, ex president of Harvard and former Secretary of Treasury to President Clinton. After a thorough discussion of the damaging effects of Trump’s tariffs, he was asked whether he could see a driving strategy behind the tariffs. The only strategy he could see was self enrichment of Trump, his family, and his closest advisors. Basically, just what most Americans have thought all along!

It’s genocide. Apparently anyone who needs life saving medication is…disposable. That’s essentially what he said during the pandemic and about his own disabled nephew. It’s his Nazi/whitesupremacist

Yes, that’s one of his evil plans. I just heard 3 people have contracted Mad Cow disease or Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which happens to every 1 in 1M people…it’s rare! And I’m horrified bc my cousin contracted it about 2 years ago and it was awful to watch her deteriorate so fast. It’s an awful disease…no treatment no cure! 😔

This is truly heartless. I am one of the millions who takes several different prescription medicines. Will I be able to afford to continue them? I highly doubt my Medicare Advantage plan is going to continue to cover the costs for me.

Marsha Sherman's avatar

I'm in the same boat. Just this year since Trump got elected one drug I used to get for free now costs me $47 on my Advantage Plan, and I have to take one every day.

Talvi’s Mom's avatar

Advantage plans are when an insurance company buys your Medicare. No advantage. If you no longer have Medicare it reverts to that company which will refuse to cover you. Just wait.

I have taken medication for my chronic neuromuscular autoimmune condition over 45 years. It's what has allowed me to live a relatively normal life with an emphasis on helping others.

For years it has been much more expensive in the US than for others in our global community.

They are trying to restrict voting as much as possible. You can't vote if you are dead. They want you poor, pregnant, ignorant and unhealthy so you are easier to keep docile.

Biden/Harris were able to lower insulin and other lifesaving drugs. Frump raised them back. Biden/Harris got negotiated pricing rights.....and now they (frump) not only can't be bothered, but are now putting taxes on them.

He said recently "you have to take your medicine " but what if you can't afford your medication?

He and the administration and cabinet need to be removed

Heartless is the right word to describe Trump and his thugs.

Stephen Birchett's avatar

I think calculating is better to describe the kleptocrats. Their heartlessness is almost a given. All people outside of their agenda 2025 are merely chattels and subordinate to their program. Denying the right to vote, to health, to unionise and to live a productive, fruitful life is all part of the ruination of democracy and its replacement by kleptocracy.

They also can be calculating AND heartless. You are correct, Stephen, that their heartlessness is a given. Those with compassion, humanity, moral compasses need not apply and don’t have a place in the regime.

If a drug company decided today to move a simple oral drug from where it is now made, they would have to find a US source for the active ingredient, all the inactive ingredients and the container, and have an available US site to fabricate the pills. The FDA would have to approve the move, with data to support stability of products made at the new site. Time required to locate a site and have data on the drug for submitting to FDA about a year and a half (if everything goes well) and FDA approval (with inspection of the sites involved) at best 6 months and probably longer. Meanwhile the drug (plus tariffs) would be imported in the interim. Also tariffs on imported raw materials that could not be replaced would raise the cost of drugs already made here. If there is no confidence that the tariffs would be in place all that time, why would companies make the investment? They would just pass tariffs on to the patient.

That scum bag not my president is handing a death sentence to the poor people of America! I live on Social Security and already had to stop some of my non essential medications to pay for the ones helping me to be a functioning human being. Instead of taxing the billionaires and millionaires he taxes the dumb shits who elected him and the ones who didn’t. Lord forbid he taxes his rich supporters…I was gonna say friends but he doesn’t have any. I wasn’t gonna say it but here goes…WE TOLD YOU SO!
