It's pretty interesting to me that a Republican president is spending his honeymoon period dramatically raising taxes, but media doesn't frame it that way.

me and my boys all take generics.
but anyway, aren't like all of the drugs manufactured not in the US anymore?
its kinda hilarious that the foundational centerpiece of the TPP was to keep drug licensing and manufacturing infrastructure of SE Asia and India firmly under the economic control of the US, and here Trump is just giving them every reason to strategically reorient toward China/Belt & Road integration.
once again, JDPONDON strikes deep into the heart of american empire.
There are plenty of brand name drugs that are extremely useful and common. Eliquis, Xarelto, Jardiance, Januvia, all of the GLP-1s. That's just off the top of my head. This has the potential to explode drug prices for seniors, diabetics, people at risk for strokes and heart attacks, etc.
I do not think brand name drugs should even exist but that is the reality of it.
The majority of the world's Viagra is manufactured in Ireland.
Enjoy not being able to get hard lol
Gender affirming care for cishets 🥰
Viagra and Cialis are both available generic
Where's it manufactured though
Doesn’t matter, they are no longer patented or branded. Read the article.
doesn't it matter tho? if a generic medication is made outside of the US, it will be impacted by tariffs
First sentence of the article:
The U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on “all any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product” entering the country from Oct. 1.
Where's the majority of the world's estrogen and testosterone manufactured?
The gonads
Skill issue
Fash leadership can afford it.
They're not going to attack themselves... at least not on purpose.
Trumps like base of support is elderly white people. If he cuts off their supply of drugs a significant portion of those people are gonna croak. This seems like really bad planning even for him.
nah the whole animating idea behind trump II's domestic policy is eugenics so this fits in perfectly with that. he knows that as long as he keeps demonizing immigrants and brown people on the other side of the world, his base are too racist and stupid to ever stop supporting him, no matter how much damage he does directly to them and their living conditions
I mean totally true but also dead people can't vote
If COVID killing 1.2 million people (and counting) didn't do it I doubt this will.
Wow I'm sure this will help medical costs and will in no way just be used as an excuse for pharmaceutical companies to charge even more.
It's definitely not gonna do what all of the other tariffs have done and just make things more expensive while companies choose to keep their existing supply chains and networks.
investing 10 bucks in my shed in north dakota to produce ozempic or whatever the fuck, project deadline 2029
Maybe I’ll finally hit my deductible
surely my insulin will not cost like $300 since it is manufactured in Denmark by Novo Nordisk. surely it won't be right...right....Mr. President right
What an ignorant fucking asshole. Why not a 300% tariff on food while you’re at it?
