Big Pharma's De-Linking Agenda
Big Pharma aims to advance a self-serving agenda known as de-linking, which would significantly increase profits for drug companies while simultaneously driving up healthcare costs for patients, employers, and taxpayers. This strategy is perceived as a $32 billion money grab, raising concerns about the overall impact on the healthcare system. The agenda could lead to diminishing price controls, effectively boosting the pricing power of pharmaceutical companies even further. Rejecting this initiative is crucial to protect the financial interests of the public and maintain manageable healthcare expenses.
