    President Biden Looks to Slash Drug Prices
    By Going After Big Pharma's Monopolies an_light

     

    NEWSWEEK -
    The administration plans to address competition issues by
    curbing price hikes on name-brand drugs and limiting the
    power of patent holders.
    By doing this, they hope to boost the presence of generic drugs
    and biosimilars within the sector.

    For example, Turing Pharmaceuticals' drug Daraprim,
    used to treat the parasitic infection toxoplasmosis that affects
    roughly 200,000 people a year, in 2015, the price of the drug
    ballooned from $13.50  to  $750.00  per  pill an_light

    over 550%  price  hike

    Off subject, but I nerd out on viruses, bacteria, parasites, ect. The parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, toxoplasma gondii, is pretty freaking insane. It often uses rats as a host but it, for whatever reason, only breeds in a cat's stomach. So it takes the fear of cats from the rats. Makes them attracted to the cats. Rats are deathly afraid of cats. It's epigenetic stuff. Even lab rats but the parasite needs to get into a cat's stomach. The shit will make a monkey attracted to a leopard. I don't recall reading anything about it making a human walk up to a Tiger but they think it can affect impulse control. Risk. Make you more likely to ride you motorcycle to fast. Drink and drive. Skydive, whatever.

    The HHS plan addresses this issue by reducing the regulatory

    Along with this action, the Biden administration plans to curb
    the practice of extending pharmaceutical patents which has
    resulted in 78 percent of new drug patents being tied to already
    existing medications. The administration will work with the U.S.
    Patent and Trademark Office to curb this practice and allow

    Gotta love liberal math. Try adding a 0...   550% is 5.5x which would be $74.25/pill  It's actually over 5500%  5500% = 55x... 55x13.50=$742.5

     

    This was also done by Martin Shkreli who's still serving his time which started in 2017. Not under Biden.

    Still not sure why we had not long ago made it practice to purchase the same prescription drugs from CANADA (and some othe countries) at substantially reduced prices!  In fair market competition that would have DROPPED the prices locally to compete with those Canadian imports.

    Can't tell me that a drug priced (for costs + fair profit) at $13.50 per pill could jump over 5000% in a few years in the US.  Canadians are willing to sell that EXACT SAME DRUG to AMericans for CHEAP!!

    Apparently firefighters across the US but particularly in the west have appealed to the federal government for more fire hoses.

    It appears these badly needed items are not readily available.

    So President Biden on Tuesday is invoking the Defense Production Act to have a company in Oklahoma mass produce the firefighting equipment expeditiously.

    @fubah2

     Is Biden also going to allow states to clean debris from the forests as well? That might help prevent the mass spreading of fires as well. You can only blame "global warming" so much. CLEAN THE DAMN FORESTS! These dirty tree huggers need to realizing not cleaning debris leads to more of a disaster.

    Biden announces security pact
    that would deliver nuclear submarines to Australia

    The new agreement with Australia and the U.K. comes as the administration
    ramps up efforts to counter China's rising power.

    One of the first U.S. moves as part of the agreement will be to assist
    Australia with the purchase of nuclear submarines, which offer more
    stealth capabilities, speed and range than traditional submarines, he said.
    Just a handful of countries, including China and Russia,
    have nuclear-powered submarines.

    "This initiative is about making sure that each of us
    has the most modern capabilities we need to maneuver
    and defend against rapidly evolving threats," Biden said.

    A senior administration official described the pact as “historic,”
    and said it would increase cooperation among the three nations
    on military defense, cyber threats and supply chain security
    in the Indo-Pacific region.

    The new agreement with Australia and the U.K. comes as the administration
    ramps up efforts to counter China's rising power.

    "This initiative is about making sure that each of us
    has the most modern capabilities we need to maneuver
    and defend against rapidly evolving threats," Biden said.

    A senior administration official described the pact as “historic,”
    and said it would increase cooperation among the three nations
    on military defense, cyber threats and supply chain security
    in the Indo-Pacific region.
