White House explains ‘We finally beat Medicare’ debate flub
The Hill ^ | 7/03/24 | Tara Suter

Posted on 07/03/2024 7:06:48 PM PDT by Libloather

The White House on Wednesday explained what President Biden meant when he misspoke and said “We finally beat Medicare” in last week’s presidential debate.

“He meant to say he beat big pharma,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a briefing when asked about the president’s words. “I mean, that’s what he meant to say.”

The statement about Medicare by the president last Thursday night left some confused, and the president has faced an overall negative review of his performance in the debate against former President Trump. The debate, in which Biden spoke with a raspy voice and stumbled over his words, sent Democrats into a state of panic, and sparked questions about if the president should remain at the top of his party’s ticket.

On Wednesday, the White House was insistent that Biden is not leaving the presidential race, and Biden said in a fundraising email the same day that nobody “is pushing” him “out.”

“I’m the Democratic Party’s nominee,” the fundraising email reads. “No one is pushing me out. I’m not leaving, I’m in this race to the end, and WE are going to win this election. If that’s all you need to hear, pitch in a few bucks to help [Vice President Harris] and me defeat Donald Trump in November.”

Some Democrats have even called for Biden to step out of the race or be replaced as the Democratic nominee. On Tuesday, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) became the first House Democrat to publicly push Biden to leave the presidential race in the wake of the debate.

The future is a long time.

You can beat us today, but way down the pike US patients may need to get newer drugs in another country. At a hospital in another country. A foreign hospital that Medicare will have to pay for and from which Uncle Sam won’t get any income tax from. It takes real expertise to get a drug approved by the FDA.

The prices are higher in the USA for reasons you might be able ask the Sacklers about once you make your way past the lawyers.

How are the Alzheimer’s drugs working for Joe?

Talk in the office is that he might have to go to a nursing home. How much will that cost? $500 a day? $600 a day?

What’s the federal income tax take from $200,000 in nursing home expenditures?

If a patient needs a new and effective Alzheimer’s drug, but it is only available outside the US, people like Joe might never see the US again.

He meant to say he beat big pharma

I wish that was correct. It is not. Big Pharma owns the CDC and the FDA drug approval process. That is why Fauci is a multi millionaire.

In their defense big pharma has brought us many great advances in drug therapy but also a lot of bad drugs that were pulled from the market as the Covid Shot should have been. It is not a vaccine. It is modification of our DNA to produce the spike protein of covid. It is not even remotely a vaccine. The FDA changed the definition of a vaccine to allow this. This Covid debacle has made many people afraid of taking perfectly safe vaccines with long histories of safety and effectiveness.

I guess it depends how you define rape. The libs probably can redefine it to save Biden.
