That's true with some things like emerging technology. Maybe the production of the drug Humalog is a complex process that will never be easy to produce. The supply will always be limited, but the demand has increased.
What about higher education? The cost of college has skyrocketed, but more people are going to college. Do you think the fact the government subsidizes both pharmaceuticals and higher education in an effort to make both more affordable has anything to do with the outrageous costs?
My biggest problem is that he was once HHS Secretary, used that job to become CEO of Ely Lily, and now back to HHS. Is he extraordinarily competent and the best person for the job, or part of the swamp that needs to be drained?
Is he a public servant worthy of accolades, or another bureaucrat that floats from a powerful government positions, to high paying private sector jobs heavily subsidized and regulated by the government, then back to government.
These are the questions that need to be asked, but people like you are too busy screaming about a single bullet point that the larger questions will never be addressed.

I have had diabetes since I was 3.
Not fun and a costly disease for sure, if you actually give a shite and take care of yourself that is.
Spend about 160 on insulin a month with perscriptions, test strips, lancets, etc all round up to around 220. Add in I'm working out and gaining weight so I have to completely do it differently than other weight lifters because excess carbs and calories raise my blood levels, so I have to compensate with more insulin and regulation. High blood sugar causes you to lose weight so eating a lot can actually add a negative effect to my program.
Shitty disease to have. But don't know life without it.

Haha. CEO of a company tries to make more money for his company. Liberals outraged.
Be sure and tell the head of the company that employs you to do his best not to make the company grow. Let us know how it works out. Also, reject your next pay raise.
Left out: Feel free to write really big checks to the IRS after the tax cuts go into effect. IRS loves unsolicited donations.

Trump attacks big pharmacy but then appoints one of them to over see big pharmacy. Swampy as you can get. Trump isn’t draining the swamp he’s just putting richer allagators in there

Once again, progtard makes a stupid thread based on overreaction to emotion without showing why it was economically wrong
