BTW, a couple of great pieces of legislature under Biden's term helped to control essential drug prices and required fair estimates from health care providers for medical care. Both of these should do a lot to drive healthcare prices down in the coming decade, but he won't be around long enough to take credit for it.

And in regards to drug prices specifically, when you have people testifying before Congress and they tell everyone they put a 27,000% upcharge on a drug, how do you even begin to solve that?
Because right now Cost Plug Drugs is likely doing more to help Americans pay less for drugs than anything else, and its likely because of their marketing, plus CPD or Cuban alerting people to 'hey, you are paying too much for this, here is a cheaper option.'
Which actually brings back the entire drug cost argument to 'can the market solve it' question, because CPD is almost proving that.
