Don't get me started on the pharmaceutical industry.....
Look at almost any issue we face in this country and more often then not you can trace the root issue back to lobbyists for an industry that has a vested interest in preventing meaningful change.
Yeah. It's a sad state of affairs.
The Democrats and Trump have been bipartisan in going after the pharmaceutical industry. Under the guise of drug prices, for the most part.
Of course, the drug industry and the insurance companies dictate any legeslation that comes out of Washington that pertains to it. People always complain about government run healthcare, and I'm one of those people, but the reality is that even though it's coming through the government, the insurance and pharmaceutical industries are caling the shots. Theyre really the ones penning it.
Whenever we get a newer concoction of the healthcare bll, we should poke around through it, assuming they let us, you know how that goes, and see if they've written it in a way that leaves those industries legal imunity from responsibility in any of these mass shootings and future ones. They're gonna want people to get doctor approval before someone can require a gun, anyway, so they might amend a line in a healthcare bill that would put the ball in their court. Kind of kill two birds with one stone there, the industries skate from legal responsibility, they still get to run their ads on public programming platforms and the government still can force people to get a mental evaluation in order to require a gun.
Of course, I would oppose that. But that's probably what theyr'e gonna do. Rememeber what President Trump said about it. Take guns first, go through due process second. And he's been talking about protecting our Democracy lately on the tweeter, like it's a form of government he thinks we have or something, so he likely thinks he can do it like that.
