    so, that’s this. Americans changed the way colour is spelt, changed the meaning of billions, what a gallon is and are now changing how percentages work ? fucks sake!

    also with him getting rid of Medicare part D, the actual headline will probably soon be “Trump increases drug prices by 600%”

    If they were cut 600% that means you’re paying patients 5 times more than you were previously selling the drugs to take the drugs away.

    600% exists. For example:

    $50 item…

    Let’s take 10% off…50x0.1=5…50-5=45, so $45.00.
    Let’s take 600% off…50x6=300…50-300=-250, so -$250.

    So I gotta go shopping soon for these things.

        Let’s take 600% off…50*6=300…50-300=-250, so -$250.

        I was wondering why it didn’t make sense, thanks. The inconsistent decimals and use of ellipses to separate ideas probably doesn’t help either, though.

    So it was cut by 10 dollars?

    Kennedy said, “President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. There’s two ways of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that’s a 600% reduction.”

        it’s not even right, that would only make it 60 dollars.

        10 * 600% = 60

    I wonder if all the scumbags getting their grift on behind Trump just straight up lie to him to get him to get soundbytes for fox news or something.

    There is literally no universe whatsoever where Trump actually cares about fucking over senior citizens making their drugs more expensive which is apparently what’s happening now and almost guaranteed to be the reason why he made this claim. He wouldn’t care about it if it doesn’t make him any money, that’s literally all he cares about. I feel like there’s a really really good chance the fucking assholes doing that just told Trump “we cut prices by 600%” so his dumb ass can just say it and make it “reality” for the base.

      medicaid payments were stopped by trump last week to ONLY BLUe states, because he is so vindictive they dint support him last election. and it dropped off msms and reddit and it wasnt metnioned since then. im hearing from my state they are starting to put restrictions for medicaid because of the payment being stalled.

      or before that schumer/gop ended the shutdown last year and kick tons of people off of the super-supsidized aca plans.

        Don’t forget the work requirements for Medicaid they’re doing federally. Oz (yes that Dr Oz) wants to make them totally universal for anyone on Medicaid - gotta work at least 80 hrs a month to stay on. Terminally ill? Disabled to the point you physically can’t work? Too bad, do it or die.

        The fascists figured out if you’re actively killing the “useless eaters”, people get mad about it. If you just allow them to die through neglect and systemic failure, they’re more OK with it.

          Dr oz always wanted medicaid to be gone so they can have more tax cuts, this is a way to degrade it. i know someone that is on medicad but isnt working right now, he is inf or a rude awakening. i make too much for it, and i had to buy insurance with subsidies, dental isnt covered.

          republicans will be whining when they get of medicaid, lol. they will get around to medi-care eventually thats where all the older 55+ are. COL is pretty much super skewed in red states, because the lcol, it makes republicans look like they arnt “poor” in those areas.
