you have to build momentum for bills like these so pointing out the gross behavior of these pharmaceutical companies can maybe help create pressure on the the senators that are against doing anything. bills are introduced and die all the time. and if i no one is pointing out these things nothing will get done because the amount of people affected by these individual increases aren't that high.

So you claim Sanders isn't doing anything about and is just posturing. A poster shows you what he's doing about it and you deflect to say someone else did it first. Nobody gives a shyt who came up with the idea first. People want the problem solved. Bernie is bringing attention to the problem, by putting a human face on it, while trying to pass legislation to fix it.

The way you talk you make it seem like you would rather certain problems stay the way they are than for Sanders to get credit for fixing them.
No, its just more proof Bernie is late to the party and his bills are not serious about the technical aspects of policy.

Its just posturing.

Warren creates bills that are actually enforceable instead of being just (and I hate this phrase I'm about to use) virtue signaling bullshyt.

Sanders isn't qualified to write legislation so all he can do is stir the pot on bullshyt.

Peep this post HERE for evidence Bernie was late to the party on this front.

Patients have had access to doses of 3,4-Dap, a treatment similar to Firdapse, for more than 20 years, courtesy of Jacobus Pharmaceuticals. That drug has never nabbed an FDA approval and consequently can’t legally be marketed in the U.S., but it could make it tough for payers to swallow Firdapse’s price tag—especially if Catalyst opts for a lofty sticker typical of orphan-designated drugs.

:ohhh:This is an interesting story...
Can’t wait to see the response letter they claim to be working on. I wonder what the actual cost of getting FDA approval is... and just how much they fleecing patients/tax payers.
