There is a fact sheet list released by the White House today that might be helpful to the Harris campaign - the first 10 negotiated prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients starting next year.

HHS has reached agreements with all participating manufacturers on new negotiated, lower drug prices for the first 10 drugs selected for the Medicare drug price negotiation program. After manufacturers have steadily increased the list prices of all 10 of these drugs since they went on the market, these new prices will cut the list price of these drugs between 38 and 79 percent.

The new prices will go into effect for people with Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage in 2026.

Follow the link to the list - they are very expensive. Years ago the US banned cigarette ads on the radio and TV but for some reason started allowing drug ads. Those advertising costs must be driving up the price of the medications, and it's one thing I'd like to see reformed in the next administration (and I reiterate, they have to let Elizabeth Warren implement some of the plans she has proposed for years.) The drugs on this list have names familiar to US residents who watch commercial TV (or streaming services that have now pushed ads into their programming).

Meanwhile, we're not here to discuss Dick's theories on irrelevant side topics. They will continue to be deleted because they are simply an attempt to broaden the political subject and hopefully start fights.
