@marwilliamson @GunnelsWarren And health insurance companies use the money we give them for healthcare to "donate" to politicians so they can charge the most while providing the least. Politicians being personally invested in these industries doesnt help. Both parties personally profit off death and disease

@GunnelsWarren The five largest pharmaceutical companies' profits last year was roughly the same size as America's medical debt. One in four Americans live with medical debt, 1.3 million Americans are rationing their insulin, and 18 million Americans can't afford the prescriptions their doctors…

No. Big Pharma does NOT pump all their profits into R&D.

Last year, Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, spent $13.7 billion MORE on stock buybacks, dividends, marketing & overhead than on R&D.

14 pharma companies spent $87 billion MORE on stock buybacks & dividends than R&D.
