dare to ask in a while our officers are facing an increasingly dangerous environment. we are seeing a growing debate about so called warrior cops. the term that i've heard in the militarization of police. this is an app vehicle we acquired through the 1033 program, very free program with the government program that funnels military property that is no longer use to local law enforcement with building an army over here. and i can't believe people aren't seeing those thing an agency elder with terrorism here because it began a feeling that hey, you have to deal with our practice who you put in in the uniform cover bands. it's a powerful thing, is from tab has like money in play tricks and people mind they think they go bad. no is. the walk is at the door very bad. john george, i'm a good news. say you have job security because the world desperately needs what you have to get

to maximize their profits, hospitals resort to overcharging patients. when you go to the hospital, the services that you receive could be operating room time or physician services or drugs. whatever. will be 1st of all charge at what's called the charge master price, which is usually a very high price that is far in excess of what the hospital needs to pay to deliver the service. the chargemaster is a list of items, hospital services, billable to a patient. every hospital maintains its own chargemaster and sets its own prices or each item medical procedures, drugs, diagnostic evaluations and so on. in the chargemaster is assigned a unique code and a set price which is not related to the patient. so its impossible for them to know

exactly what they been billed for. ah, the hospital systems employ all kinds of people to work in as coders, and their job is to provide particular codes that will make the most money. and so the idea is there's a, there's a nation about up coding which is a, you have a patient who need an appendectomy, will they need an appendectomy? but they were actually with severe complications. and so you can make the situation worse than it was or appear worse than it was in order to get a higher level of reimbursement. and that just drives that spending in the system. and so you go into the hospital and you just have no idea what you're gonna have to pay and that it's terrified ah,

in 2019, donald trump signed an executive order requiring hospitals to make their price information public a step toward transparency. but with his health care reform plan, his main priority was to undo pharmacare. he made it a campaign pledge. ah, that begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. ah, prison front is determined to try to get rid of anything that president obama did. he's trying to undo the obama legacy piece by piece, including the affordable care donald trump proposed his reform. trump care who's a was to replace obamacare, which was 2 socialists for his liking. continuing the republican tradition, he wanted to keep state intervention to a minimum. once elected president,

trump carried out his plan. it launched a charm offensive to get through congress. ah, action is not a choice, it is a necessity. so i am calling on all democrats and republicans in congress to work with us to save americans from this imploding. obamacare disaster predominantly republican, the house of representatives passed the reform bill. mister johnson, i had one last obstacle to hurdle the vote of the senate, which was much more divided needed every vote that they could get to undo obamacare and john the k, whose conservative republican,

who was the last one to vote. and he voted by lifting his hand and threw in thumbs down. ah, the eyes are 49. the names are 51. motion is not agree to the members not agree to . he decided to do something different and that's fine. and i say we still have a chance to go, we're going to do it eventually when obamacare couldn't be reversed all at once. then the trump administration worked on a variety of other tactics to take it apart, piece by piece. ah, donald trump signed multiple bills into law, each targeting a different aspect of obamacare, you think will help you. yeah. you know, one thing i really learned i learned with you is you would have started with infrastructure at the

beginning of this year. the trump administration came in and made the tack 0 so that now there is no obligation for people to get insurance, so healthy people won't get insurance and that will make it more expensive for everyone else at symbolically it was kind of, you know, ha, you know, we're going to pull apart as much as we can, and i think obamacare is, is over. this is something i'm very proud of. great for our country. great for the american people. thank you all building on this momentum. donald trump has continued his attack on obamacare, and the number of uninsured americans is on the rise again. it is caused some people their lives, like shaylynn amy's daughter. ah.

hey, did you make this for me? yeah, thank you. come on. i haven't got your homework. i'll have homework, you always say that, but you always have homework. yeah, i bring it back in here. now with shaelyn died. so amy battled with depression, her sister, eli got her back on her feet. your people that are playing eaters, it's a. well, i put a lot of effort into this that's come a long way. i just remember like, i didn't know what to do. maybe it found that selfish. i've already lost lynn. i'm a lose you too. because that's what i felt like was going to happen. like you were just gonna stay in bed and just die with her. i want it to at that time. i know you

did it. so did you get a i don't like them and increasing numbers of americans are voicing their desire for a fair health system. i mean, one of their main demands is reduction in drug prices over prices arisen by an average of 30 percent over the past 5 years. for instance, the price of ad there and as the drug has increased by almost $200.00 for big pharma, the united states is a gold mine, a market worth some $500000000000.00. and drug companies can set their own prices. ah, drug prices at our country are much higher than the rest of the world for the exact same drug, often in the same package,

maybe the language might be different in france. in the u. k, the government negotiates directly with drug companies. this is not the case united states, a golden opportunity for manufacturers who are fighting to maintain the system vest because we have so a little regulation of drug companies in this country. and the reason for that is because the drug companies have the most powerful lobby in washington. i can tell you it's not in the millions, it's not in the 10s of millions. it's not in the hundreds of millions. it's in the billions of dollars that drug companies spend over the last 20 years. getting their way with congress. pharmaceutical companies spend far more than any other industry on lobbying, $228000000.00 in 2019 alone. democrat

and republican politicians alike received money from the drug industry. this practice is illegal and france, but it is part of the game of american politics aah! and the pharma companies, these payments are designed to ensure the drug market remains unregulated in right to sarah health care system is based on competition. but competition in the health care system works the opposite of how it works in the grocery store. so won't be found with drug pricing is what i call it sticky price. and you know, you would think, oh, there are 3 insulin makers so they would compete and offer undercut each other on price. what happens instead? because they're all making such good money is $1.00 tries to raise their price, you know, they'll say out, you know, why are we sell in this for $50.00?

we could sell it for a 100, a vile and they do it. and the other 2 go a look, they're getting away with it, someone's paying. so they all go up to that sticky ceiling. and the price has just gone up and up and i'm mm. insulin manufacturers are under fire, including eli lilly, an american farm, a giant. the company doubled the price of its insulin over 5 years. it was headed by alex sr, a yet to lower prescription drug prices. donald trump had no qualms about nominating this man to be the secretary of health and human services. come here, alex is going to get those prescription drug prices way down as a little bit of an extra right. it's gonna come rocketing down just like the fox

watching the hen house. it's just rhetoric because when you hire someone like alex lays are to run health and human services, nothing is really meaningful. is going to happen because he's going to be there protecting the interest of, of the company and the industry that he came out with the price surge has meant karen no longer goes to the pharmacy and has to find other ways to get insulin. ah, are you good, thank you for coming. i really appreciate it. awesome. wow. humalog that that's like the main one that i take and that would cost me $500.00. so she has extremely, extremely helpful. i can't think or enough. this is like thousands of dollars on

the table right now. on facebook, it just happened to see her, but she hadn't wanted to give away to somebody in probably 2 minutes after i jumped on it. i think i tag you in a far, lou. yeah, i was so excited. i was like chris chris, this is i think this is what karen gone. i think it's on. yeah. i remember i called her and she said it's all her off and is, does she end up usually having extra? does she not know or her doctor switch her to a new type of insulin. so she had an abundance in her fridge, and instead of throwing it away, she wanted to find somebody who could use it. it does feel like i'm dealing drugs like they come in with the bag of insulin and we do a quick trade in. i

have people in my life right now that are giving me their extra we're doing what we have to do survive and ah, ah, your story goes to chill with goal is to chill to begin with, which one is about though it was just my with gracie with, with world municipal dimension you was, wasn't that,

that the appointment was for that if you can discuss you machine that i do with no, i mean emotional put that am out sick with me as per hour or so on with with ah, there is a thought of a lot of fear and i'm live like this for so many years. why i'm, i mean just diabetes by itself is exhausting. is completely exhausting. even if i

had everything that i need, you know it's, it's like it's been just hired me out and completely i know i won't be able. 2 to song because we knew before before, like all that inform price stuff a behind the skyrocketing drug prices is a $3.00 headed hydra. to health insurers and a 3rd player with a pivotal but obscure roll. the p b ends or pharmacy benefit management providers. on behalf of the health sector, these companies negotiate prescription drug prices with the manufacturers, intermediaries with murky practices, who are the cornerstone of the system. in other words,

the drug companies, the health ensures and the pharmacy benefit managers make deals on what the prices will be on what the reimbursement rates will be. and we don't know what those are since we consider it a business. those prices are often are generally considered trade secrets, so we don't even know who's telling the truth. they're all complicit in making this mask. they all act independently and they all blame each other. so it's very hard to get anything done because everyone says, yes, it's a mask, but it's his fault. mm. another aggressive strategy is deployed by all the major pharmacy companies to retain market share at all costs. they keep generic competitors out of the market. they do this by taking advantage of americas protective patent laws,

a new sample of ways that the brand name drug companies keep the free market from working. the lower cost generic from coming to market is called ever greening. by tweaking the patent, it's able to ever green the patent to maintain in the pattern preventing a generic drug company from introducing a drug. even on the earlier patent, you marrow, one of the world's best selling drugs in the u. s. has 254 patents. so it's really hard to get generics into this country at the moment because drugs are protected by multiple patents. the example that is most horrific and gross is insolent, ah, want

a slab in while phone with dr. is it being cooper with starting to parks, pre pharmacy, to get treatment. some americans have to travel abroad for the 1st time, karen and eric have come to canada where insulin is much cheaper. ah, we're doing it. i never thought we would be, but yeah, it is an extreme and can't really sacrifice work time to stay up in vancouver to have a vacation or anything. it's just going to get the insulin incoming that i only get a 7 vacation day. it's a little frustrating, just that i had to use a vacation day to fly to another country to get a basic medication from

a country that's pretty well developed. and so it's a little tiring, but still exciting because i'm so excited insulin for this friday. mm. mm. purchasing medication in a foreign country, bringing it back to you tonight. it states is illegal, but tolerated karen's american option is accepted here. a pharmacy right there. yeah, go down and you turn in turner. mm hm.

okay, and are you good? how are you? i'm here to pick up for karen wafford with a lot quicker than i here is here. see. so for just the insulin we're a little under $700.00. okay. yeah, that sounds great. all right. so kind of round me out for the year. so yeah. we do a lot with 3 people today. well, the price difference is astronomical. so yeah, we're going from $2700.00 to $700.00 for this exact amount, which is a huge. mm hm. it's been going through customs. do they ever like dave or i asked i go through stuff like that on my yeah. yeah. so you can be transparent with allowed to bring in a personal supply. great. what they don't want is people bring it across to try to

sell it exactly where i can. thank you enough. i mean, it means a world they are doing really appreciative and i'm sure we'll be back. thank you. i think years when i think you so i this is as good day as a type one diabetic and probably have his ah, unlike in france, unlike in most european countries, unlike in canada, we don't view access to health care as a human, right. we believe it's acceptable somehow that a human being in the rich in one of the richest countries in the world can walk in to a pharmacy and not be able to pick up their dad diabetes drug because they can't pay for it. ah,

i in the united states, there is a safety that though the emsella act, ah, it requires all publicly funded hospitals to stabilize patients in need of emergency care. ah, but one 3rd of facilities slot this law. oh i amy believes her daughter shaelyn would still be alive if the hospital had respected its legal obligation. ah. when this is all i have left if i'm remembering my

why, why am i fighting so much? why am i sacrificing? i never wanted to lose track of that. lose sight of that. let fuels my fire. ah, today's the day girl, today's the day. i'm really one this badly for a amy decided to sue the hospital for non compliance with m til today she will finally find out to the district of nevada court has approved the lawsuit. ah, to change the system. wendell is continuing his political fight. a new is going to be a long journey. i don't know when it's going to and i think that it's just a matter of time. it's a matter of when not if that we're going to get to medicare for all. what i'm in

this until we see congress passed a bill and the president sign a bill that gets us to kind of health care system. there really. ah, good afternoon everyone. and welcome is wendell has some good news. we're well going to medicare time out here, outside of the court house. here in las vegas, this all my friends and my brothers, and this is the revolution, know that we had victory today. we survived the summary judgement and celine's case for the impala violations were asserting, and it's a good day. mm hm. as for amy, the try will be in

a few months time i can't bring showing back that i can fight to ensure that they stop doing this to other people. and i look forward to that. i'm very excited about it. and i can't wait to let the rest of the world know that we're going to, we're going to trial. we'll see him in court for a karen to wants those responsible to be held, to recount. she and or organization went to demonstrate outside their offices. oh, we want eli lilly to hear us, won't you? i lily to realize that people die every single year. every time we come now,

i hear more people and i, we want him to know what the price is gonna go. i until today, until things change. we'll keep going to the people who died. we'll keep going for the people that we know that had type one diabetes in ourselves and everybody else who might ever be on a medication that they need to live with . ah

ah we don't know if point for washington expresses skepticism even though because that request was in accordance with the collective security treaty organizations rooms which permits numbers to call in assistance when facing threats and other use a year on from the us. capitol hill rise, the us seems more divided suede republicans out raised by vice president camilla harris, comparing the event of january 6th to the $911.00 attacks and even the bombing of.
