For decades, American Big Pharma has been scheming to undermine Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which has given Australians access to some of the cheapest medicines in the developed world. Their goal? Higher profits at the expense of affordable healthcare. They’d love to see Australia adopt a US-style privatised system, where individuals are forced to pay exorbitant prices for the same medicines we get for just a few dollars.

@danwentzel I think so too.

Cuz I'm shure someone like Bezos and Musk can afford the 17,6% premium that everyone else with any income has to pay in return for not loosing coverage even if they debase and unhinge themselves so hard they'll go broke, have to #TouchGrass and fold cardboard boxes for a living.

  • It also pays for paid sick leave, ambulance rides, prescription meds and doctors' appointments.

Not to mention I'd see this as a sort-of "peace offer":

  • #AffordableHealthcare and execs will be offered clemency in the form of being stripped off their assets and sentenced to #CommunityService so they can undo the harm caused with real hands-on actions!

Cuz some humility would really fit them...

NAFDAC’s commitment to reducing medicine costs is a step towards equitable healthcare in Nigeria. By fostering collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry, essential drugs can be made more accessible to all. Local production, AI, and efficient supply chains could be game-changers in making healthcare affordable.
