Remember these democrats for the 2018 primaries, who could have passed Sanders’ amendment to lower prescription drug prices yet chose not to.

12 Republicans (including Ted Cruz) voted in support, and 14 Democrats did not, effectively denying the votes needed. These democratic senators then had the audacity to speak out against repealing Obamacare while moments ago selling out the American people’s access to affordable prescription drugs.

Cory Booker, in his defense, said the amendment, which I doubt most people have read in full, would not have ensured that the imported medications were safe for consumption/use. I don’t like Booker much and he does take money from BigPharma, but the amendment was flawed and he is on the record as support importing prescription drugs to reduce costs.

Don’t fall for his faux concern and lies my friend. He got that FDA safety concern BS straight from the Bush administration and Big Pharma as you can read HERE and HERE and see here:

“The actual text of the amendment restricts its applicability to “safe and affordable prescription drugs” ― language that should make clear to the committees drafting the more detailed legislation that they shouldn’t be clearing poison. It’s almost as if the lawmakers who voted “no” are using consumer concerns about medication safety to mask what might have been an industry-driven move.”
