'The Hill' Discovers Trump Makes Everything Bad Again, Just Not Corporate Greed
While The Hill attempts to pin rising healthcare costs on Trump, it's a stunning act of historical amnesia. The average American already drowns in medical debt, a crisis exacerbated by decades of bipartisan dereliction and unchecked pharmaceutical and insurance industry lobbying. Where were these impassioned pleas for affordability when Biden's administration passed no substantive healthcare
reform, or when Congress routinely accepts millions from PACs tied to the very corporations driving up costs? Instead of addressing the revolving door between Capitol Hill and pharma boardrooms, or the fact that over 100 members of Congress hold stock in healthcare companies, we get scapegoating. It appears 'unaffordable again' means returning to the exact unaffordable state we were in before—just
with a new boogeyman. Perhaps they are waiting for a Republican to be in office to highlight corporate malfeasance, lest they upset their current donors?
