I'm laser-focused on the findings that show drug companies use patient assistance programs as public relations tools to undercut competition. Big Pharma hooks Americans on drugs right as their exclusivity is ending, so patients won’t seek out more affordable treatments. (4/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Internal documents show that Big Pharma is specifically targeting the U.S. market because Medicare can’t negotiate. Taxpayers lost more than $25 billion over a 5 year period because of this policy. It's fiscally irresponsible not to let Medicare negotiate drug prices. (3/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the kicker: Big Pharma spends far less on these programs compared to total revenue. They provide support long enough for patients to start depending on a drug, but not long enough to be a sustainable solution—then they write off these donations to cheat the tax code. (5/8) — PolitiTweet.org
