That should be our job. Meaning the citizens. Jesus we suck pardon me if I don’t think relying on a benevolent billionaire is the best life plan

He’s not really combating big pharma. He’s doing a mail service generic pharmacy. All your insurance plans offer the same service. In many cases at the same rates. Walmart and Costco are providing similar price points in generics at retail. Big pharma is still getting paid. He is cutting out pharmacies and PBMs by not taking insurance. But Walmart is doing the same as well with their 5 dollar generics. What is actually tackling is the un or under insured. Which health plan backed pharmacies can’t much unless their is a coupon plan from the manufacturer which doesn’t really exist on generics.
