I’ve listened to a couple of Joe Rogan podcasts that have touched on this issue, but I thought this line in the link above summed it all up – They own hospitals, employ doctors, run clinics, operate pharmacies, and control pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that decide which drugs you can get and how much you pay.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, and please let’s try keep it non-partisan as it affects everybody.
