They are escaping rape and murder. Any white South African ive ever met tells me that country is a hellhole. You have to live in a walled barbed wire fortress as a house. If you hear someone breaking in you basicully have to shoot them before they shoot you. You have to drive through red traffic lights to avoid getting carjacked.
I’m married to a South African and that’s absolutely garbage. South Africa has a huge crime rate and it affects black South Africans too. Race has nothing to do with it.
 
Pharmaceutical stocks slide as Trump vows to cut US prescription drug prices ‘by 30-80%’

I mean, that's a good thing, no?

The Yanks have been getting fucked on three sides for decades, from hospitals/practitioners, drug companies, and insurance companies, not to mention the advertising.

Companies aren't going to pull stocks from the market if the price is fixed lower, and if they do, then you can get a generic on the go.
It is a good thing in many ways, however the way he's looking to implement it is, based on how he described it, idiotic.
He's probably wrong in how he described it or there's detail that he's just glossing over. Insisting the US has to get a price that matches the cheapest price globally would be a mess if it's not implemented with some subtle T&Cs.
Should countries in sub Saharan africa pay the same price as Americans for anti-retroviral drugs?
What if you have a bulk deal? Or special offers?
Is this for the federal government, medical orgs or any old person?
What about subsidaries?
What about supply chains, if I sell my drug to a global distributor, does that global distributor have to adhere to the laws? Do local distributors in the US?

There's a prohibition on the US government negotiating drug prices. That's clearly insane, anything that changes that would be a huge benefit to American taxpayers.
I don’t think that he is going to just declare that prices are now cheaper. He doesn’t have the control to do that. But worse for us, he does not control the supply.

And again, since he’s always calling everyone else communists, this is communism.

It's not communism, it's socialism, just standard price control. Happens in the US, rent control isn't unusual in US cities. Price gouging during natural disasters is outlawed in many states...

Yeah, I know it’s not communism. My point is that it is far more like communism than anything the Left has done.

As to Trump’s attempt to control, the fact is that he doesn’t even have the authority to get a fifty cent discount on a cup of Starbucks coffee. Also, as usual, even if he did have the ability to arbitrarily set prescription prices, he’s forgetting that there are several other layers between the drug producers and the consumers, including the insurers, the providers, and the pharmacists (among others). These would also have to be dealt with. It looks to me as just another trip down fantasy lane.

That is fact, my wife has relatives out there.

2/1: Its from policies implented by Obama in 2012

3/1: Did you read that on Fox News?

20/1: Watergate
