Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation

[C-Mag]

Recently received a letter from my insurance that my current brand of insulin will no longer be covered. They proved a list of a couple alternatives that would be covered. In short, I have to change insulin brands. Fine, no big deal. Until I filled my first prescription for the new brand.

My out of pocket cost went from $25 to $90.
I have the same job as 2021.
I have the same insurance as 2021.

FJB.

Now he's trying to sell caps on insulin prices as part of the bribe/blackmail to pass his build back bullshit plan that will bankrupt us even faster.

I can't find news on it yet 9big surprise) but i recall him rolling back a Trump order that was keeping these prices in check. Now he wants act like the hero by putting it back in his plan.

You can blame the Unvaxxed. Had they only taken their Jabs there would be no threat to the Quarterely earnings report for Big Pharma. Gotta make that shit up. Pfizer bosses aren't going to put in a position to sell one of their yachts or estates.

We need medical insurance to be more like house or vehicle insurance. There for emergencies only. Insurance companies are the reason medical care is so expensive in the US. It is the compromise between the free market vs the socialized medicine that works as the worst of both worlds. If we didn't have medical insurance for non-emergency care, medical care would be subject to market forces driving down costs.

Yet, as Tim Pool likes to point out about gun legislature, we don't see politicians saying the equivalent of legalize all guns. All only see politicians that say no to those saying we should socialize medicine. When what we need to eliminate these abusive insurance companies.

I've written about this a lot. Medicare has cost containment and it should also have market-power but congress specifically prevent them from using it. The ACA is a travesty.

We have just watched Bank Runs in Canada and Russia over the last couple weeks.
CBS is reporting the Ruble is now worth 1 US Cent.

Fiat looks sketchy as fuck. Can the interlocked global systems handle making Russia an outcast ?
Do they want to ?

Bank Runs could be coming to you.

The Ruble went from 92 to 130: it was always about 1 cent

Russia, China & India trade among themselves without SWIFT. This will create a competing international banking system: good!

Soon government won’t be able to shut down competing voices by isolating them from money.
