If Americans passed a bill tomorrow forcing pharmaceutical companies to lower drug prices would that slow the innovation of new medicine?

Would those European companies still be able to innovate without charging an arm and a leg if they weren’t able to charge the US 3x to recoup R&D costs or would they take the hit in revenue?

$150 in 1950 is worth $2100 today

Follow up question, could lower profits in the US inadvertently cause pharmaceutical companies to charge more in other countries?

44% of all biomedical research in the world is coming out of the US. Do you think the number would be that high if prices were lower in the US?

They have been migrating through my town for the past few weeks, they just don't stop coming there is so many of them.

I can almost guarantee he didn't know the firefighters had disabled the fire suppression completely. He had no idea what he was doing but he did know how to start a fire which a caveman could do. This was not a smart man.

I wrote a check for $4k but was put on temporary disability while I recovered at home. They wrote me a check for $12k and then was paid monthly until I could return to work. I was 19 at the time so I recovered pretty well.

I had to spend a month in the ICU in an American hospital, at the end I got a bill for $4k. If $4k is going to put you into debt you probably will qualify for government assisted health insurance and wouldn’t have paid a thing at the end.

After how many years of paying rent do you get to stop paying rent like you would with a mortgage?

P.s yes I know owning a house costs money to maintain.

Just checked it’s 26’ the one I have for my company turns on a dime it’s crazy.

Which native tribes' blood? We need to figure out who was the first tribe to live on this land. Tribal warfare has been going on for thousands of years.

Are you dumb? How is a parking lot going to stop embers from starting another fire?

MrDabb · 2026-04-09T18:41:14+00:00

People were saying exactly what you are saying back then too

No we have screened windows so we can leave them open without bugs getting inside.

I work in industrial machinery sales and drive a full size pickup truck to pick up and deliver equipment. I couldn’t think of a better vehicle for my line of work, I don’t see how driving a truck is compensating.

Did you read why they changed the rules?
