Post Reply - A new pandemic

   "Do not test-do not tell"-insanity is followed by defunding public health...(to get more tax money via war-industry in the hands of a billionaire class)...not only in the US but in a lot of "neo-liberal-insanity" countries.

The Hidden Cost of Tariffs on Pharmaceuticals: Prescription for a Disaster
Tariffs on pharmaceuticals act as hidden taxes on the sick, punishing those who are already vulnerable.

Let’s examine a critical topic that affects all of us: the Trump administration’s push to impose tariffs on pharmaceutical imports. While this move may sound like just another policy headline, it could have serious consequences for millions of Americans, especially those already struggling to afford healthcare (unfortunately, there are millions of them!).

DJ, US tariffs itself will increase US inflation. Most chronic disease patients allready have a low income. So they will see basic general costs go up...ON TOP OF THAT !!! A lot of medical costs-with a lot of pharma imported-may become "very high cost"...unaffordable for a lot of US citizens. And without even access to basics for the US to make those medications themselves...

The US has neither the factories/staff or basic materials...Still it closed the door to import...
