Donald Trump believes in health freedom, not government dictates
Millions of Americans have convinced themselves they don't really have much of a choice for president this election, but when it comes to health freedom and the right to choose medicinal treatments, that couldn't be further from the truth.
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton co-owned and is co-opted by the same corporate medicine interest groups that have been denying us the right to choose alternative treatments, cannabis and naturopathic health solutions. While the Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, is not. In fact, he has made it a point throughout his campaign to remind voters that his candidacy has not been bought and paid for with corporate dollars – especially not from Big Pharma or Big Medicine.
For her part, Clinton has pretended that she will "rein in" Big Pharma companies that have a tendency to overcharge patients. In this briefing from September 2015, Clinton lamented drug company profits ($80-$90 billion annually) and said she "believes that we need to hold drug companies accountable to lower drug costs for Americans."
Owned and operated by Big Pharma and the health industry
In a subsequent briefing a year later, she decried dramatic price increases for drugs that have been on the market for years and years, like a 400-percent increase in cost of Epi-Pens and a 5,000-percent hike in the cost of pyrimethamine, for AIDS patients.
Is she serious? Hardly. According to publicly available donation filings, Clinton is the top recipient of Big Pharma donations this election cycle. The Hill reported:
Clinton accepted $164,315 in the first six months of the campaign from drug companies, far more than the rest of the 2016 field...
Cash from drug companies poured in despite Clinton's tough public stance on the industry.
By contrast, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who gave Clinton a run for the nomination (leading the Democratic National Committee to rig the contest to stop him) turned down a $2,700 donation from Martin Shkreli, the one-time CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, who raised the AIDS drug price, The Hill reported.
As for the remainder of the health care, International Business Times reported that, as of January, Clinton's campaign had collected over $13 million from health-related industries. While closing out her campaign in Iowa, Clinton declared that the Medicare-for-all, single-payer plan pushed by then-candidate Barack Obama during his first campaign would "never come to pass."
