What I'm saying is that the entire pharm industry owns a lot of our politicians, democrats and republicans alike. Drug companies have done A LOT of unethical things -not just pricing, but they, for some odd reason, are protected from harm. Do you agree with that or no? Assuming you do, who protects and covers their scams? Lawmakers do --you know, politicians. Do you think these same lawmakers would lie to you to get you to believe what they are saying? They do is most of the time. There is a money racketing scheme going on and the American tax payers are fully funding it. Its why a vote for Bernie would be so dangerous. To submit MORE power to government, the same folks who have been taking payoffs to protect scammers of the American people for decades? Brilliant lol. Bernie does see a lot of the scandals and he has called them out, but his solution will only breed more of it, not less.
Corporations buy politicians like any other commodity such as real estate or natural resources. Why? So the politicians pass laws which favor their business so they can increase their market share as much as possible with the ultimate goal of controlling 100% of their market and establish a monopoly so they can control the market and squeeze as much profit from it as possible. That's why a "free" market is a myth because everyone in the market is ultimately trying to control the market. Politicians are just another widget for corporations to make as much money as possible.
