Big Pharma ads are lies
To the Editor:
Lately there have been video ads on YouTube and TV that say “Biden Raided and Broke Medicare,” that Biden raised the price of pills for seniors. This is beyond the scope of “misinformation,” it is a barefaced lie of the absolute worst kind.
The Biden administration closed the “donut hole” for seniors’ medications and put a cap of about $2,000 on out-of-pocket expenses. Furthermore, they were working very hard to institute Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices for seniors.
The reason for these ads is nefarious. The call to action is to contact so-called “Seniors 4 Better Care” which is nothing but a scam to get voters to push Congress to reverse the savings and negotiated prices. It’s funded by drug companies that are making billions in profits from taxpayers. This push is a “Black is White” kind of lie. Don’t fall for it.
I’m a certified “Senior Health Insurance Information Program” counselor, so I know what I’m talking about.
