Medicare fund will begin to save $6 billion/yr and patients will save another $1.5 billion annually on these 10 drugs.
Most are connected with treating diabetes. Just imagine how much money (and suffering) could be saved by eliminating diabetes itself. 
That’s an interesting point. Money saved is by nature a finite quantity. Money earned, on the other hand … 
Big pharma will find another way of gouging the American people.
Probably lower the mandates for high cholesterol to 75 so they can sell more statins.
Inasmuch as cholesterol is clearly bad for us, it should be lowered to zero. Thus we shall thrive.
On another note, regardless your political affiliations, I think ALL Americans should watch this interview. Whistleblowers Calley and Casey Means (brother and sister) expose how Big Pharma co-opted government agencies and the food industry to poison America and keep us sick. They both risked everything and left their lucrative careers (Stanford trained surgeon and a Washington lobbyist,) to expose what is happening and just how bad it really is. I knew much of it already but there was new information from their firsthand experience and witness that is mind blowing and eye-opening. It was really encouraging for me personally to hear them expose everything like they do and I pray it reaches as many people as possible and helps to wake more of them up. The powers in play controlling everything is discouraging, but only if we all remain in the dark.
Watch it directly from TCN website, because the YouTube version will censor some of it for political reasons (big money doesn’t like whistleblowers). The version on TCN is unedited.
Amazing interview
But the Medical Establishment know that diabetes is progressive and cannot be cured. So it has to be treated with drugs. And don’t forget the Medical Establishment personnel are often either employees and/or shareholders of the drug companies. But I am sure that has nothing to do with it.
The government and pharmaceutical industries have no interest in solving diabetes. They want people spending a lot of money on drugs and not living very long. So they tell the public to “eat a balanced diet” with whole grains and fruits, and the vast majority of the public doesn’t understand that grains and fruits are sugar and they will never get rid of their type 2 diabetes while eating those things.
But I’m over getting mad at that stuff and have now come to understand that health and longevity are our own responsibilities and perhaps that’s the way it is supposed to be.
While isn’t that VERY convenient timing? Wasn’t all this promised a couple years ago? I’ll beleive that when I see it. Next the border will be secured I’m sure…
The devil is in the details.
They are going to give in on the older drugs. And mandate that Ozempic at $1,500/month be paid for by these same systems.
The net money paid out is what matters.
They should cap a BUDGET with them. And they get ALL the drugs they need at that ONE price. Or they can’t sell their drugs in the USA.
(Notice that we have the highest costs out there. Try to buy Ivermectin. This drug costs pennies per pill in most countries. Here… It’s well over $1…)
Also, when you research it and DISCOVER that OUR tax payer $$$ funded MANY of their drugs. And then we get the worst pricing. We should have a credit for the investment. And we get that money back as a 30% price discount. Until we get 10x our investment (Like ANY good VC would want as a minimum, to cover the bad investments).
But so many palms are greased along the way…
There are serious proposals to put statins in the public water supply.
