You're actually the douchebag here. Even if you are far from rich.actually, a pretty awful one because Republicans have spent decades making sure their corporate pals get a slice of the pie.
Take Medicare Part D, where the Medicare Adminstration was FORBIDDEN from buying drugs in bulk to save money so not to cut into big Pharma's profits.
So the original idea- Great. Make sure granny gets her medication rather than the expensive procedures that follow if she doesn't.
But Republicans said, "Hey, there isn't a douchebag getting rich off this deal, and frankly, nothing works in america unless someone gets rich!"
The main reason they prohibited medicare from negotiating is because they didnt want a monopsony on drugs. I realize you'll have to look up the term but it's good for you.

Medicare would not create a monopsony on drugs.
Wrong.
