Good morning to NO ONE except MY GODDAMNED MAN Joseph Robinette Biden who successfully took on the thieves at big pharma and FORCED THEM to negotiate the prices of 10 drugs through Medicare.

The media doesn’t care but I do. You’re like Robocop but much slower.

@briannawu that is excellent, but just a little reminder that *every* prescription drug bought in Australia costs about $10/month thanks to the purchasing power of the “socialised medicine” Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme that the bad guys have tried to dismantle in every Australia/U.S. trade negotiation.

@briannawu I don't think I'll ever not be frustrated that Joe was the nominee in 2020, but I'll be damned if the man hasn't managed to deliver in ways I didn't think he could.

@foxxtrot @briannawu There is something to be said for how decades of political experience, when properly applied, can be advantageous to positive outcomes.

@jovian34 @foxxtrot @briannawu Yeah, I keep thinking about how "knowing how to get things done politically" doesn't correlate all that well to “charismatic and willing to promise things that are unlikely to be achieved”, and sigh a bit.

@fade @jovian34 @briannawu Sure, but my problem with Biden was never that he didn't know how to get things done, it's that he'd spent decades getting things done that I think were bad.

So maybe instead of saying he's gotten things done I didn't think he *could*, it's more correct to say he's gotten things done I didn't think he *would*.

I'm glad he's doing this and need to read up to counter my instinctual reaction of "What, only 10 freaking drugs?" Like, I'm sure they're the most overpriced or most used drugs. Gotta read up!

@aka_quant_noir @briannawu yep same thoughts....lol

An unlikely, but awesome, fact is they are doing the worst priced ones first. More will come 🔥🔥🔥

@briannawu And we have Sinema to "thank" that the number is limited to so few drugs. She negotiated it down on behalf of her contributors, and the Dems needed her vote.
