"She said, 'snatch'!"

I submit that multi-billion-dollar corporations would not let that happen, and that the result would be made to look like a ‘true MAGA patriot’ was the perpetrator.
The Biden-Harris term has provided an overture for Communism just to get the less informed voters used to the feel of the condition.
Now with the help of Walz Camela wants the nation to become fully immersed in the Marxist dogma in order that Americans get to live one of Matt Bracken’s books!
First thing Camela will do is to erect a wall around the impoverished nation. It’s not to keep people out, rather it’s to keep the citizens in.
It is one thing to screw over us simple rubes with draconian plans and regulations and further erode our fweedumbs, but if Cackles screws with the pharmaceutical profits, that’s when things will really hit the fan. She should already know, you never mess with the money, especially
pharmaceutical money. Those people do not play around where their money is concerned.
If she gets elected the country will be communist and all freedom will be lost.
You can do that once.
After that, there will be no more new patents.
In a sane world, this would disqualify her. In today’s America, most won’t even see this.
In the event Kamala wins, America’s descent into economic oblivion will be swift. In the event DJT wins, the descent into leftist violence will likewise be swift. In either case, enjoy the next 80 days because starting 11/6 our nation will change decisively.
Why not air all of the campaign videos with the response of the other candidates in 2019? They made her unpopular then, why not now?
Biden raised the price on Insulin and then cut it.
I remember when Clinton demanded that all the formulas for everything had to be revealed to the FEDS.
ONE COMPANY totally refused.
There used to be a product called “KIP”.
It was a very effective spray for burns.
THEY CLOSED DOWN.

.....”Washington Times reported at the time:
Ms. Harris has cosponsored legislation to butcher our patent and health care systems.
Many of the bills impose government price controls, unleashing the government’s monopsony power to dictate drug prices.
S. 3166, S. 1801, S. 1261, S. 1129, S. 981, S. 470, S. 377, S. 102 and S. 62 — all cosponsored by Ms. Harris — contain this common feature of government-controlled health systems. Those governments hold unfair advantage in “negotiations” with vendors.
Some Harris-backed legislation demands compulsory patent licensing or slashes the period of patent exclusivity — the opposite of an exclusive right. S. 4439, S. 1801, S. 377, S. 366 and S. 102 include these.
Measures such as S. 1801 and S. 97 raise risks for patients through importation schemes. Some, including S. 3163, S. 1801, S. 637 and S. 102, expropriate drug innovators’ earnings. That’s money companies use for R&D and to keep new, better treatments coming.
Ms. Harris backs “public option” and Medicare “buy-in” legislation, S. 1261, S. 981 and S. 470.
She’s an original cosponsor of the granddaddy of one-size-fits-all, government-controlled health care — Mr. Sanders’ Medicare for All Act, S. 1129.
Kamala Harris’s rhetoric is a dangerous flirtation with authoritarianism, where the state can take whatever it wants in the name of the greater good. It’s a vision of America that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who values freedom and the rule of law.”....
That’s the foundation for a great commercial
I did not need to hear the word “snatch” out of that whore’s mouth...
““So, for any drug where they fail to play by our rules, and if that drug came about from federal funding for what’s called ‘R&D,’ research and development, I will snatch their patent so”
Interesting choice of wording there...and considering her history and background, I’ll bet that’s not all she’ll be “snatching”. Gotta love that classy commie confidence.
She is a blithering idiot, which is perfect for anyone still calling themselves a democrat.
Wanna fix patents? Go back to original time limit for expiration. If you cannot make a profit in that time, tough. Also, forbid extending a patent for one chemical simply by adding another to the pill and renewing the patent. E.g., some drugs add things like aspirin, rename the whole thing, and get another batch of years. OK, the new mixture is patentable — nobody is allowed to simply ALSO add aspirin. But, the base chemical falls out of patent.
That will lower prices tremendously on loads of pills.
BTTT
It is to create shortage, ON PURPOSE.
* That’s not how a free-market economy is supposed to work,*
Harris’ ‘fair market’ idea is plagiarism of Trump’s ‘most favored nation’ plan proposed via EO in 2020.. The MFN plan was forcasted to reduce prices about 30%.
‘Seizing patents’ is non-sensical. About 80% of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) are produced outside the US. And, not all medications are produced within the US; GlaxoSmithKline, for instance, is British.
Also, free-market doesn’t really apply to pharmaceuticals. There is limited competition, the patient isn’t in a position to negotiate with foreign entities and pricing is arbitrary - it doesn’t align with inflation but is a complicated rebate dance between pharm companies and commercial health plans.
Trump proposed that the rebates that pharm companies give to health plans be passed directly to the Medicare consumer instead. However, it was suggested that while drug prices would indeed decrease, cost to the government would increase, resulting in increases to medicare premiums and the ‘donut hole’, in effect reducing any direct benefit from a reduced drug price. The current ‘donut hole’ is $7,000 cash out of pocket annually but Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act will cap total rx costs for Medicare Part D at $2,000 annually starting in 2025 at a cost to the govt of $3B/year. Whether that will translate for commercial policies is yet to be seen. It will be interesting to see how Harris plans on improving the cap, or if she’s even cognizant of its existence.
Federal law already allows for an individual to purchase a 3-month supply of certain drugs from Canada. But not all medications are cheaper. Trelegy inhaler is about $150/mo on Medicare Advantage plans, but it’s $190 from the Canadian pharmacy I use. (ordering 6-months supply at $970 is still $11/mo more than the Medicare pricing). Albuterol inhaler is about $1 on Medicare, but thru Canada is $14. And there are also free drug discount plans such as GoodRx, which offers reduced prices on some drugs. Trump had proposed importing drugs from Canada, except Canada balked, claiming large-amount purchasing by the US from Canada would increase drug costs to Canadians.
It will be interesting to see what Harris will claim is her idea!
