You are going to hear screams from Big PhARMA when it dawns on them they will lose their research arm if his budget is adopted. NIH and the Universities are the only reason all the foreign drug companies have offices here. All of their profits (after paying obscene management salaries) go to advertising, not research, other than some new ED pill. Which health insurance covers but not birth control - go figure. Guess the men will always look after themselves but to hell with the women.

Detached amusement and bemusement works for me.

For a while they can tweak the formulation, call it a new drug, get another 17 years of guaranteed price gouging. The cycle repeats.

I realize the need to have a sense of humor about things, but the fact that this guy is really the President takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Detachment is important, although there's more than a bit a schadenfreude involved too. The bemusement derives from his being President and the amusement comes from the resultant head spinning.

Sanders is the mid-wife for the American Health Care Act aka as RyanTRumpcare, Ryancare, and/or Chumpcare.

Way to go Bernie. Thanks for making single payer a real possibility for unicorns.
