Thank you for what you are trying to do Mr Burris!
One thing, though. It is not just “Big Pharma”. It is “Big Medical” (often in bed with “Big Pharma”), and “Big Dental”. The Dental industry in this country is geared towards two things. One is generating as much revenue as possible and the other is to keep their victi, er, “patients” on the hook for painful and expensive procedures throughout their lifetime. Gotta pay for that new car, vacation home, or next luxury cruise, somehow! Oh, for added fun, let’s make it as painful and uncomfortable as possible. Notice how few dental offices are equipped with nitrous oxide, anymore. In the rare event that they have it, they use it so sparingly as to be almost useless. “But why make a patient comfortable when we can enjoy inflicting pain? After all, we aren’t the one feeling pain or dealing with anxiety, so why should we care?”
Jbl1a, you are so right! Sorry about that omission. The insurance industry (life, health, home, auto, and more) is a scurvy entity, designed to take as much money as possible from its victims, while paying little or nothing out. “Let’s minimize what you should be getting, or deny your claim altogether.”
What rock have you been living under Mikey? Trump is horny to slap pharmaceutical tariffs and is gifting Big Pharma a longer timeframe to resist negotiating prices with Medicare. His executive order means nothing. Anyone who believes he will followup on this has maybe forgotten his long list of broken promises from ending the war on Ukraine and solving Gaza on Day 1 to lowering prices. Every word out of his glutinous mouth is bullshit.

Observer you forgot “Big Insurance”. It’s all a fraud designed to rape consumers.
