I don't know what else to do about posting political cartoons so I'm going to try something else. Some political humor can be easily understood without a visual aid.

"AOC vows to use only lower-case letters to fight Capitalism."

Another one from AOC.

"I'm against studying civics in school unless we also study other cars. I mean, why should we show favoritism towards Honda?"

Of course, there is no evidence that she ever said any of that but the inference from the right is that she is stupid.

Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca will offer U.S. patients discounted prices for some prescription drugs, President Trump announced Friday, the second major drug company to strike a deal with the Trump administration in recent weeks.

Under the deal, AstraZeneca will offer its drugs to Medicaid patients at "most-favored-nation" prices, meaning the U.K.-based drugmaker will charge no more than the lowest rate offered in other high-income countries, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz said in a Friday afternoon Oval Office event. AstraZeneca also promised to offer new prescription drugs at most-favored-nation rates, Oz said.

AstraZeneca will also list "all primary care medications" on a government website called TrumpRx, and it will offer discounts for some drugs, including lung disease medication, according to Oz. The company said in a statement that it will offer drugs at up to an 80% discount for "eligible patients with prescriptions for chronic diseases."

TrumpRx — which is set to launch early next year — will not sell drugs directly, but will instead direct consumers to lower prices elsewhere, Oz said. AstraZeneca said the website will allow patients to buy drugs directly from the company at a "reduced cash price."

The AstraZeneca announcement came less than two weeks after Pfizer reached a similar deal to offer most-favored-nation rates to Medicaid patients and list drugs on TrumpRx.


Not just a one off, either, as his hits just keep on coming!

Why do Americans pay more for their prescriptions?

There is wide agreement that drug prices are unusually high in the U.S. Per capita, American spending on pharmaceuticals is nearly three times the average of other advanced, industrialized countries that comprise the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

A study by the Rand Corp., a nonpartisan research organization, found that, across all drugs, U.S. prices were 2.78 times higher than the prices in 33 OECD countries. The gap was even wider for brand-name drugs, with U.S. prices averaging 4.22 times higher.

The U.S. does pay less than comparable nations for unbranded, generic drugs, which account for about 90 percent of filled prescriptions in the U.S. But generics account for only one-fifth of U.S. prescription drug spending.

Experts cite several reasons for this pricing discrepancy.

One is that the U.S. has more limited price negotiation with drug manufacturers than other countries do. Often, if another country fails to find the extra cost of a new drug isn't justified by improved results, they'll reject the drug application. Some countries also set price controls.

Another factor involves patent exclusivity. Over the years, U.S. pharmaceutical companies have used strong legal protections to amass patents that can keep generic competitors from the marketplace.

Drug companies have also argued that high prices help pay for research and development of new and improved pharmaceuticals. When Trump released the executive order, Stephen J. Ubl, the president and CEO of the drug industry group PhRMA, said in a statement, "It would mean less treatments and cures and would jeopardize the hundreds of billions our member companies are planning to invest in America." (In Trump's May 13 interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Trump offered a different picture of what drug company officials have told him; he said they agreed "it's time" to lower U.S. prices.)
