I’d rather keep Columbus.
Democrats, Indians, lawyers and drug companies.....
Where’s my popcorn?
Claire is a wealthy ‘nursing home’ queen... I would check the fine print to see what windfall she will personally pocket.. when she loses her next election.
I guess the Dhimmicraps got tired of harming black people.
I think we should stop and look at all the issues involved and try to separate them out.
1. Sovereign immunity for Indian tribes. Is this sensible? Just? I don’t have a dog in this race. I can see arguments for both sides. Americans and American Indians should ask themselves if this is truly beneficial to the Indians it supposedly protects or is it just a way to “keep them on the reservation” and enrich just a select few tribal leaders. Would some other arrangement protect the legacy of tribal lands and at the same time permit them to improve living conditions for a group that has a very high poverty/violence rate?
2. The war on pharma. Disclosure: I own stocks in several small biotech and I probably own big pharma stocks via mutual funds. I don’t think big pharma is without its faults just like most other big companies. I’m in favor of punishing them fully - no slaps on the wrist - when they betray the public trust and abuse their power. That said, there seems to be a war against pharma just like there is a war against the rich. The left/lawyers see money and to them it looks like a target. Kill pharma and you kill progress in medicine. As the article points out, companies take HUGE risks to develop new drugs. They should, IMO, be rewarded for those risks.
3. Loopholes. There is something wrong with the law when both the left and the right resort to loopholes to accomplish their goals. Either close the loopholes or kill the unpopular/unworkable/unjust laws that they are skirting. The idea that you can do whatever you want so long as you find a clever lawyer and a clever loophole is sneaky and underhanded and not the sort of society I prefer to live in.
I think all the ads for Restasis I have seen have women doctors and women patients. You would think that any problem affecting the eyes would affect both men and women, but the impression given by the ads is that the drug is addressing something that is only a problem for women.
Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill
What are the odds that a Democrat Senator will get a law out of committee let alone passed.
President Trump will never see such a law since the drug companies have spread enough money around to block it.
As someone else wrote here, it sounds like she may have a dog in this fight. Follow the money.
