This message from AARP has me shaking my head in wonder:
$129 BILLION. That’s how much Medicare spends on prescription drugs every year — yet it’s prohibited by law from negotiating with drug companies for lower prices. This is OUTRAGEOUS.
Our lawmakers have a chance to grant Medicare the ability to negotiate for lower prices, making the medications we rely on more affordable for everyone. But the proposal is part of the budget reconciliation bill, and final decisions are now being made, with votes expected later this year.
Delays in Congress won’t stop us, because we won’t be silent when lower drug prices are on the line. This community has sent tens of thousands of messages, and we’ll keep this drumbeat going — because AARP members vote, and when we speak, Congress listens.

First, let me say I am in favor of govrnment’s using bulk purchasing power.
This would be the situation right now, if the Democrats had included such a provision in ObamaCare.
Remember, they could have.
They had total control of the Federal government..even better than now, because there was no tie in the U.S. Senate and they had a healthy majority in the U.S. House.
AARP ran by greedy libs, try AMAC…
I remember around this time last year headlines like these – Trump Signs New Executive Order On Prescription Drug Prices.
I believe the EO stated the US would pay what the lowest countries were paying in the world were paying for the same drugs. Is this one of the EO’s that Applesauce Brain has reversed?
I can’t keep track anymore.
fyi….AARP is a liberal/progressive entity that is not working for conservatives best interests
AMAC is much better.
And there was probably at least 1 Democrat back then who opposed that provision. If you only have enough votes to pass a bill but then have just 1 person who opposes a certain provision, they can hold the bill up until that provision gets stripped out. That may have been the case with Obamacare. I’m not sure on the specifics of Obamacare, but it’s fair to say if you support the AARP’s position on this then your position aligns with probably 90 percent of the Democratic Party’s politicians and you disagree with nearly 100 percent of Republican politicians which is fine but let’s just call it for what it is instead of spinning it to blame Democrats when they are far more supportive of the idea than Republicans who oppose it.
When the dollar goes to crap, when there are food shortages, when the cost of energy goes skyhigh, hospitals are overrun from all-cause visits, etc, it won’t even matter that much. It’ll just be another problem in your infinite list of problems that they manufactured to gain total control over the world. Look at what’s happening with inflation, with crime, with trucking and labor shortages, etc. It’s going to worse.
You’re almost 2 years into this with no end in sight. Places with high vaccination rates are sometimes still seeing extraordinarily high case counts. You might start hearing about more breakthrough infections and deaths. You might start hearing about more adverse reactions from the vaccine itself (regardless of if you hear of these things, they are happening, but social media and the mainstream media are totally corrupt, working with the actors trying to implement this new system, and engage in censorship even if what you say is truthful). Every single time a “conspiracy theorist” said this or that was going to happen people said no. And gradually we have been shifting more and more into a dystopian world. Nobody is really being held accountable and it’s not rational to think in the near term that they will be, because politicians (mostly Democrats) and businesses are carrying water for them.
-If the system collapses they’ll do martial law.
-Otherwise as it keeps limping along they’ll try to get more people jabbed, but it won’t matter if everybody is jabbed, because they will always say you need a new booster or there’s a new variant. Always a new wave of fear. If you study brainwashing (which I have, extensively), one of the things you know is that the technique of giving people small reprieves from their fear, anxiety, and isolation and then ratcheting it back up is a superior technique then trying to do it constantly.
There is no end in sight. THE GOAL is the GREAT RESET. One way or another. The destination is the same. There are certain measures they want to take.
It’s right out there in the open. I don’t know why people don’t get it or think this is some wacky talk…
GREAT RESET
They want more control over your finances, more control over your housing, more control over your body, more control over your communications, more control over your transportation, and really total control.
Look at this billionaire wealth tax they are proposing for example. Does anybody think they will only apply that to billionaires in a few years? For the first three years of the income tax, the rates varied between 1-7 percent. Now the bottom rate is 10. Do you realize the significance of the difference between a “wealth” tax and an income tax? Your wealth is everything you own. If these bastards have their way, they’ll be auditing me ciggies and books! A wealth tax means if you owned a stock, you would be taxed on the value of the stock, regardless of the fact that it hasn’t been cashed… They’re spinning it as a good idea because it’s on “billionaires” but it’s NOT a good idea! Most of their ideas are not good. Most of their ideas are very bad!!!
If you want to see some of the messed up things they have planned for you, look at what the government of Australia is doing. That’s just scratching the surface.
Correcting there are more people than you know that get it.
Unfortunately there are even more who fall back on the good ole what am I going to do about it excuse.
There are alot of those in this fine state.
And your last comment re Australia is Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset where you will own nothing and be happy about it.
It’s like a frog in a pot of water that doesn’t realize it is being boiled alive because the heat is being turned up so slowly.
If people don’t turn off the TV and seek the truth on their own they are going to ruin the future they think they are leaving for their grandkids.
It’s getting good in the world of truth.
Thosee damn Clinton Foundation whistleblowers provided sworn testimony to Durham that the foundation has not paid taxes on 2.5b since inception.
Look out you may see Hillary prostituting herself on North Ave soon.
The movie is getting good at least for those that are informed.
The rest think Biden is their legit president.
Australia is a great example of why we need to keep the Second Amendment and not erode it any further.
I saw some mentions of the Clinton Foundation today while scrolling but didn’t check the specifics.
You might want to investigate that; maybe let us know if you find anything damning.
The impression I got was that there was damning stuff, but of course people in high places are not held accountable.
What do you make of Hunter Biden’s art?
That’s gotta be money laundering, bribing, or something worse (like some kind of rare currency that can be exchanged for certain black market goods and services).
Correcting I’ll start with Hunter. LOL.
No need to question the obvious.
Re Clinton Foundation, in all the time Durham has been doing his investigation there have been no leaks.
The details will be delivered to the Clinton’s when they are indicted.
Remember John Huber who was running a parallel investigation to Durham’s RussiaGate investigation ceded all of his finding on the Clinton Foundation to be used in the indictments he has written. Think in the 100’s of thousands range.
I’ll see if I come across the 2 CF whistleblowers articles when I do my daily research today.
My Mom died in 2002.
But she still gets the AARP monthly rag and membership cards.
The membership lists must be padded.
