Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
That is false big pharma spends far more on marketing than R&D, the money spend on R&D has been decreasing for quite some time. If you listen to investor calls they often brag about spending more time on repackaging drugs and hiking prices then new breakthrough. They do though spend on money drugs for rare diseases where the patients have zero alternatives.
For example Biogen has a new drug that cost $750,000 for the first year and $375,000 for every year after. The amount they charge has nothing to do with R&D but the fact that they can charge whatever the hell they want.
talk about uninformed god dam were you living in a cave 8 years ago?democrats had control of the house, the senate, and the presidency until 6 years ago, they were one seat away from having filiabuster proof control and one of those seats not held by a democrat was held by an independent who ran as an independent when the democrate party put a center left democrate up in the election,
the ACA didn't get a single republican vote so it could have been anything they wanted it to be and this is what they gave you.

first of all I was talking about my mouth not Trumps
Secondly insurance for everyone doesn't mean socialized medicine.
Studies sponsored and done by who? stop looking at studies and follow the money. The pharmaceutical industry has lost interest in R&D and finds sales/marketing and price hikes to be much more profitable. The pharmaceutical industry is a monopoly with unchecked pricing power, the current system is broken.
If you can't afford the deductible then it's almost as bad as having no insurance at all. That was the point of my post.

You forgot to mention the part where red states were offered money to expand Medicaid under the ACA so that those states could have health care for poor people, but those Republican senators turned the money down. Yes they would have preferred to have poor people die without health care rather than accept Medicaid funding.
I have no idea why people vote Republican, "evil" is the only word that aptly describes many of their actions.
This are all independent studies. I agree generic drugs are overpriced as fuck and needs a restructuring. But on the grand scheme of things generic dont make up most of our drug spending.

NBER - mainly gets funding from four sources who are conservative, small government advocates. One of your links is also not working.
Clue institute - Pay to play journal.
Cambridge - required a login to see the full study.
I suggest you read some studies by the CBO on drugs pricing in the US they are far more informative. If the current model is to work we need two things a) Mandatory R&D spending set by the government for all pharmaceutical companies b) A specific formula set by the government when it comes to drug pricing. Also you have to take into account while drug prices have continued to sky rocket the amount of cures coming down the pipe line has slowed to a crawl.
I don't see how anyone can justify charging nearly $1 million for what amount to 6 pills or companies like Mylan with Epipen there needs to be either stricter government control or competition.
Actually, the point was trying to address a controversy. For example, which of these 4 items are in ACA? All of these were claimed to exist by either DNC or RNC members, with the other disagreeing:
1) Grandfather plans for existing insurance.
2) Deathpannels for the elderly.
3) Cross state insurance.
4) abortions paid for by the tax payer.
The bill is in plain text... if everyone can go and read, yet we were being told and believed conflicting information. What is the solution to see what the bill is written to do, away from this controversy?

To be fair, he didn't say it would be useful insurance that would actually cover anything.

He didn't say anything. We have insurance for everyone now, before ACA and pretty much for the duration of US healthcare including insurance. In fact, the only thing his comment is saying, is that the only solution to healthcare issues, is insurance.
An example of insurance for everyone? HSA... as in, the same vouchers Trump said was his plan previously and Paul Ryan advocated leading up to 2012 elections...

If Trump can make Republicans want socialized healthcare then I just don't even know anymore.
