(my musing)

By 1 August, tomorrow. Today they look a little ragged. I heard them saying as I approached, “produce this, bitch.” It’s unclear whether I can order them around.

How does trump make the economy great? He orders it to become great. No heavy lifting or thought involved.

Does this mean that the pharmacy is going to pay you 14x the original price to take the medicine home?

These percentages are from the graduate of a well-known business school.

This is just another "The Felon says he's going to," which makes his base say "He is" or even "He did," either of which work out to "What a wonderful president he is!"

He really knows how to work them, but empty promises won't boost the popularity he craves so much.

Btw -- if he's at 42 percent overall, what must his numbers be with Democrats?

"Give me what I want, or I'll do everything I can to hurt you!"

Yeah, he didn’t write that letter.

…to eff off, but I wouldn’t be sad if they did drop their prices.

???

He puts out these edicts like he is a king. And he will never be a king.

They'll all go to a nice dinner in New York or Chicago, discuss whether it wouldn't be more profitable to drop a bunch of critical generic drugs (like Albuterol or Methotrexate), that they've tweaked to turn into New Brand Name medicines that are Just Right For You (if your doctor says so) -
- creating a years long shortage of the old generic meds while they push the slightly better (maybe) new, improved patent meds -

- and as compounding or third tier foreign manufacturers struggle to keep up with a sudden rush of generic orders by people who can't afford or get prescriptions for these "new" meds.

‘ALL THINGS NOT GOOD!’: Trump says he’s imposing 25 percent tariff on India

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/30/all-things-not-good-trump-says-hes-imposing-25-percent-tariff-on-india-00483243

Oh, and how's that thing with Wal Mart eating the tariffs going?

He thinks that just because he says to do it, that all those Corporations are going to follow his orders?

It might look good on Fox News as their viewers will blindly believe anything he says...................

The amount my Medicare part D prescription drug plan does NOT cover on some of my prescriptions is absurd, especially since they're all generics. *grumble*

I swear, I think some of the private insurance companies that sell part D prescription drug plans and Medicare supplement plans must be making a fortune, considering how much they charge and how little they cover, and I'm salty as hell about it! Medicare is getting to be a joke, what with all the money we have to pay out to private insurance companies for those things!

We DESPERATELY need universal health care in this country! And I'm not talking about "Medicare for all;" I'm talking about something that covers our health care expenses WITHOUT private insurance companies getting in the middle of everything and fucking things up so they can continue to leech money out of everybody!

This concludes tonight's rant; you may now return to your regularly scheduled activities.

expansion, etc. If Medicare-for-All doesn't, it has no chance of passing any time soon. That's just a fact and why we'll be here with no universal coverage in 20 years.

I recently paid $800 for 18 pills, with Part D.

Chaos to follow. Then shortages. Just what we don’t need.

He had the opportunity to lower drug prices in his big, ugly bill. He chose to increase them. He had the opportunity to help Medicaid recipients in that same bill. He instead threw them off their medical coverage. He's pulling this shit so that the brain-dead assholes who support him have cover to continue supporting a President who stripped them of their medical coverage and deliberately increased drug prices.

Someone needs to tell Donny that nothing gets between pharmaceutical executives and their profits.

Just keep throwing shit... maybe something will stick?

(The orange gibbon is scared and trying anything to regain his popularity with his crazy base.)

"I'll believe it when I see it." (I just made that one up, but I like it).

I suppose Karoline used his mimeograph.
