obviously there is some superman out in the world that might be bigger than any kryptonite of of prices or or predatory practices so here's a tweet from john walker d.c. it is crazy how much our drug spending prices shot up only in the united states right after obama cut a deal with drug makers to drop all campaign promise about reining them in as part of a so of course you always know the top line zero is the one out of control whether it's you know it's certainly with health care prices that's the united states that there are drug prices from two thousand and they've really started to take off from the rest of the world and that's when obama did the deal with you know the drug the pharmaceutical company said he wouldn't have rained on their prices you know what was incredible at the time was that liberals and progressives were saying this is a poison chalice this is a horrible deal but it's incremental it's iterative it's what we need to do to get

to where we need to go as if it was a continuation of where we've been corporate galad jing remember dennis kucinich was taken up with obama's plane and he came down and he was a convert to obamacare he was the last man standing course bernie sanders was like oh yeah you know medicare for all be great but we're just going to let this slide progressive we're going to progress to something better at some point they're not progressing at all to regress going back to. a feudalism you know america never had to feudalism because we had a revolution against a monarchy and we created this whole thing called the american democracy we never had feudalism now we're going back to africa if we're experiencing feudalism for a good period whether that louis the fourteenth or charles the second or alexander the great or charles schultz or snoopy or linus we're going nowhere this is

an absolute. actually you mentioned feudalism and that is in my next story and without them actually saying this is an article from w. from web m.d. and it's about insulin prices spiking insulin cost put patients and brutal buying so insulin prices have skyrocketed in recent years on average tripling between two thousand and two and two thousand and thirteen one popular brand over log increases list price by three hundred fifty three percent from twenty one to twenty sixteen but some raise the money however they can mother people with diabetes take less effective insulin or ration what they have one survey revealed that forty five percent of diabetes patients in america had gone with out insulin because of the price and in some cases the consequences have been fatal they go over some of the fatal stories but in particular they talk about this one guy so there are thirty

million americans with diabetes seven point four million have to take insulin type one diabetes is the sort that you're born with and your pancreas does not produce insulin so you have to take insulin. they speak to this guy irv earle he's an m.d. and he's a professor at the university of washington school of medicine and he's one of the nation's foremost experts diabetes he himself has type one diabetes and he remembers back in the one nine hundred sixty s. he supposed seventy five cents so now it's up to thirteen hundred dollars a month for two vials or whatever you need for that month. but so this cost he's talking about half of patients actually go to canada to get their insulin . obviously canada has a universal health care and they negotiate prices with the pharmaceutical companies so you know there's this crazy idea here in america where trump ran on the he would allow re-importation so he would allow to canada to negotiate prices with

pharmaceuticals but we americans can't do that is against our ideology but you can we'll let you go up there. and get their prices but here he says he doesn't blame the drug makers for the price increases exclusively he said there are three companies that make insulin products but the nation's opaque medication pricing system pharmacy benefit managers control which insulins are on an insurance list of approved drugs and get rebates from the manufacturers to do so they can exclude a drug that rebate is too low the result is that what one person pays for insulin could be vastly different from what another pays then i'm going to go interest quote where he confirms your idea of feudalism because this is the entire structure of the us versus the simplicity no bureaucracy no middlemen across europe and saying the united kingdom over their health care system he says you can think of it as a tax by the time the insulin gets from the factory where it's made until it comes all the way down the chain to the patient there are

a lot of people who touch the insulin and everyone wants money for touching at one of the things that's different in other countries not as many people touch the insulin before it gets to the patients so that keeps the cost out that's the exactly what feudalism feudal times was like that there were constant toll booths and shake downs and everybody wanted to cut before any money got from the king in his goal down to you the schmuck on the street right into the shutdown and toll booths and if you look at the charts on medicare cost bloat and that the number of doctors isn't going up but the number of administrators the number of bureaucrats the number of middlemen tollbooth dollar isn't get their hands on the pie that keeps skyrocketing you know it's amazing to me that americans they'll drive you know five ten miles out of their way to save three cents on a gallon of gas and they'll probably burn more gas getting that three cents off a gallon of gas then that makes sense even the go get that three cents off a gallon of gas or the go to a site like group on and they'll all pool their resources together to get

a twenty percent discount on sushi right but if you say you know what you don't have to overpay for your mess. kara by three four five hundred percent six hundred percent you don't have to be treated by the pharmaceutical companies like you're an organ donor like they look at you like they want to harvest your organs the big pharmaceutical companies they see your liver they see your spleen they see your lungs they see your your plasma they're like we want to monetize that we want to engage in vivisection we want to cut you up we want to sell your part yes we want to make that money and americans are like you know what here's a knife start cutting me up and taking my organs please because i'm really stricken stupid i have twenty cents a gallon of gas but you can have my kidneys for free that's a stupid these people are i don't know what sympathy for the has because people know when you put gas in your engine in the gas tank they know kind of how combustion engines work they know how how it makes your wheels turn and you go forward down the highway people don't know what their kid need does or their

pancreas or what their lungs look like and you know they don't know and told that they're not experts on that and so one of four dollars u.s. health care dollars is spent on diabetes so we're going to also look at the predatory nature of this health care system and how that might just saying i'm just saying that low protein i want to just get that my as i was saying that might have something to do with how people vote either they are voting because of this or they're voting because of a guy who lives six thousand miles away so price fixing allegations they call this section caring wolford dreads going to the pharmacy to pick up her insulin i can research a plan before i choose what we're going to do next year but there really is no way to know what's going to happen the uncertainty is one of the worst parts about it says woolford twenty eight a writer from atlanta like many americans she has a high deductible insurance plan so has to pay many many thousands of dollars of

cost and her her insulin is thirteen hundred a month until she gets to. the bit where the health care actually kicks in but she goes again she keeps on talking about that the unpredictable nature of it so what i'm saying is i think many voters i know i would you know i get concerned about we don't know what our obamacare prices will be next year we don't know them yet they haven't told us they won't tell us until late much later in the year so you have no idea if your costs are going to go up forty four percent like they did in twenty sixteen and they can go up twenty three percent like they did last year so you don't know how to plan for next year she herself has basically decided she and her husband don't have any kids or they don't plan to because they can't afford it because of her she has type one diabetes and she has this cost otherwise she's going to die so because she doesn't know if it's going to be thirteen hundred next year is going to be seven hundred dollars for her insulin or is it going to be two thousand five hundred she doesn't know. i was

a stunt or nor castrated program. well if i was the no it's it is definitely predatory and they actually talk about one guy who was once he turned twenty six and he was no longer covered by is america his parents' insurance he was confronted with thirteen hundred dollars a month for his insulin but he couldn't afford it so he waited to get his insulin until his paycheck amen but he died four days before his insulin before his push the operative word being death cost twenty six years old why is four bucks for the insulin which are thirteen hundred. perhaps. and the guy of course the pharmaceutical companies say they need it for research money they need they need that for research so it's been proven that other countries don't have the same research budget but for the same innovative drugs and medical procedures anyway so that's a full well look at where you. live in terms of cancer research right but how is that not an orchestrated campaign to wipe up part of the population or i mean

that's the hut not i get i don't think it's that i think they consider that collateral damage in the predatory practices that they have here and it's about all the middlemen. and all the middle men are all cods in the machine and there is no. there's no one figurehead guy at the top saying i am running this thing killing all these people it's like i'm just the guy pushing paper and denying your insurance claim i'm just the guy sending the bill for the thirteen seven x. guy selling the insurance claim is making sixty to seventy million dollars a year as an as a salary that's not a guy but that's that was but the predatory system right with it is set up so that nobody has it is called will remember barack obama said that there's there's no real illegal thing that happened when the entire financial system fell apart and fraud there was no nothing you could specifically point to and say that's the guy that caused that oh i get the no second responsibility but i get saying i'm just saying this could be why people are angry this could be why people vote the way the elites assume you're saying i see where you're going with this you see what i'm

saying because i say because i'm saying i say not complaining i'm just saying exactly we have to do more of this let's take a break we'll come back and we're going to sort the soul out ok ok don't go away. brougham so my. good jewish who've moved before. much of those who heard it's a preview of. who would who. really . shouldn't look beautiful

who did some good. just like most of his goals did you go good goof. goodish also look i do the same you blow me a kiss it's good to me you should go. the starts to get the two needed oh it was the little one wished they'd say look it is it's. not a chance to just meet the mashed old. destructive president complete control his product until. the year two shoes to go to school to snoop to come up with new yorkers those the girls are with you for his supporters to whom she looks through she shouldn't feel you should cook door for the one who's doing business.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical dying time to sit down and talk. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation and another by mike was hoping when the board doesn't implement the eyes of god this is going to guns not with theirs that he that he got on into this it's just a proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments under cyber threat and not only that. the

office of the assistant is selling distances. we had one local double full to look into more stuff the world didn't miss you in the world was all of those with bats in the building is a mental discipline are still things that we call them started on me when the old vision stopped in a more sustainable as a front is often described some of on. all right we're back worth it here in the moment groomed to very interesting so in other words what you're saying is per the message over to shirt is you not

complaining or just saying you're just saying so when we were in the first half looking at the u.s. voter heading into the midterm what happened to twenty sixteen and how they were perhaps just fed up of a predatory system and ever declining wages now we're going to turn to europe because obviously europe has a vast social welfare system people are not thrown into the gutter when they lose their job they are covered if they have a medical problem it's covered they are not bankrupted by that and we see in germany we've seen some pretty shocking sort of rallies going on in saxony in the eastern german part of the country where you're starting to see people actually do not see salutes and stuff like that so what's going on there why and what a look at what exactly what's going on there why are people angry there why people vote for bragg so. i'm going to look at first i'm going to actually show you a little photo of something from pakistan and this is

a remarkable. i think this is a good analogy for what's happened in europe so this is a still from a video and perhaps we can play a little bit of the video here this is from pakistan who these are massive crocodiles the oldest one is one hundred twenty years old and this guy is feeding them by hand now scientists say that they've become tamed over decades and decades of these people going to a shrine in pakistan where they believe these are some sort of state or something so they're feeding them that they've been tamed by being fed all this meat well my question was like what happens if they run out of me in these these warship or stop feeding them will they revert to nature so hear it as that as sort. of. globalization starts to bring in waves of of of changes like what's happening in europe about this sort of breakdown how is how where are these far right parties coming from in germany in austria up in you know sweden i'm not there mark maybe

but finland but how how is that happening this is timothy garton ash he often writes in the guardian but this is in the new york books and he says it's the culture stupid and he uses the german word for that which is a little bit different from the connotation in english so go read the article to see that but he says and explaining the populous vote in many countries that inequality of attention is at least as important as economic inequality so he talks about a situation that happened in east germany when a street protests in a small town and saxony was totally ignored by the visiting chancellor merkel a protester complained she doesn't even look at us with her. one can imagine a trump voter saying something similar about hillary clinton so he talks about the fact that this is part of the whole trend of d. platforming d. monetizing and just shutting down the voices of the angry populace

and is sure it clearly expresses itself as very right wing and the much of the elite that control everything are left wing and they don't hear their voices so they shut it down here they were protesting and they felt like basically merkel didn't doesn't even pay attention to them with her you know behind and they go into the fact that there is a bestseller that from an author there who. you know basically looks at the their nazi past and is considered right wing it was in the top ten bestsellers for weeks and spiegel just took it off but it wasn't on the top some book of lists and timothy garton ash is putting that into. this notion is they were basically that we're not even pay that these people don't even count we don't even hear them we're going to blank them and instead of it you know having conversations with these sort of people and doing things like nine hundred sixty s.

and seventy's television used to look like in america when the likes of malcolm x. when the likes of muhammad ali were on television talking about really they were talking from radical person liberal and sort of progressive stands but. you know here we don't have a sort of debates where you're talking about radical crazy ideas imo you're asking the question about liberalism and europe and the welfare state in europe and the fact that on one hand it doesn't have the same problems always see in the u.s. but now you're saying on the fringes of the rise of problems well in germany they're doing very well their incomes are very high they have free healthcare they have free education many of the people in these far right groups the alternative for democracy a.f.d. or something like that that they're that they're rising in power but they have like aristocrats and very wealthy people being part of this these far right groups so he's looking at it and looking at why it's not caused by economic hardship clearly

in the situation because these people are doing very well and they have high incomes they have all all that they need so he's looking at what else might be causing this stuff that our media is unable to process at the moment look there was a conclusion whoa he's saying that the inequality of attention that we're there they're expressing concerns in this case a lot of them are concerned about the mass amount of immigration into their country even though that's not going to east germany it's going to berlin and munich and hamburg but he said for the rank and file it went when spiegel took this book off their top seller list even though it was a top so. or is it for the rank and file it is yet more evidence that the liberal elites have so little time and respect for them that they won't look at us even with their we're still they won't even let ordinary people say what they think and a poll conducted in spring two thousand and sixteen for the freedom index of the

john stuart mill institute and heidelberg only fifty seven percent of responded and said they felt that one can freely express one's political opinion and germany today he thinks he goes on to say that he thinks it's encouraging debate john stuart mill but encourage debate no matter how odious your opinion with no matter if you're steve bannan that you should be put on stage and challenge with equal intellectual or somebody able to articulate why that guy is wrong or what you know have an open debate like we used to back in the sixty's and seventy's before everything got. back in the seventy's by the way we see the show the bodies of our dead soldiers returning from vietnam we don't do that anymore we block out a lot of stuff but it still exists i'm saying this seems to be a lot of stuff that exists that ignoring it doesn't make it go away just because you know sixty's and seventy's are going back to the recent past and further into

the past to have economies and societies that were a lot more diversified in the twenty first century live in an economy that's run almost one hundred percent exclusively in the consumerism so the fact that merkel is not paying any attention to these people is not really the issue and they should really concern themselves with that the only question that they have to ask themselves is are they buying stuff because that's the only thing anyone really cares about the richest people in the world like a jeff bezos they they get rich by selling people stuff because that's what they want to buy stuff and they want to that's that's how they define themselves you are what you buy that's who you are you're not a religious affiliation given those out of the country but those are not p.r. they have some knowledge you know part of a community if you're just somebody that buy stuff and if you don't want to buy stuff then we don't want to hear from you and that's the end of the story nevertheless. we still live in democracies those people who vote a.f.d. still vote those people who vote for trump still vote and all our media is able to say is absolute shock they don't know where it's coming from the only ever answer

is putin that putin has something to do with it they're not looking at our own culture hillary clinton called those people in middle america that are ignored and trump spoke to them whether or not he is it means that he spoke to them and spoke their language she spoke like an ordinary person and she called them baskets of deplorable and after she lost to him she said that they were losers and my people were winners my voters who are in dynamic winning places so that's what i'm saying . and it's over i'm not saying that for a long time malcolm glazer right with the singularity that's happening faster than anyone really wants to admit and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert joining catch us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time.

we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and twenty forty you know bloody revolution here to create the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it your style or here i mean your list put in the. new school and you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took part in this to do over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.
