When the media isn’t slobbering over how “nice” Tim Walz is – in between his disgusting comments about JD Vance and his falsehoods about Trump – and how middle America he is – in between him endorsing socialism and condoning riots – they are busy covering up for his lies.

They covered for his lies about his military record, and they’re covering for his lies about his Big Pharma promises that are Big Fake. And the press wouldn’t have to do much research to challenge him on it – they just won’t.

Walz and Kamala keep saying, including in that pathetic CNN face of an interview, that they’re going to fight Big Pharma; a dubious claim for any Democrat but badly preposterous in the case of Tim Walz, who as governor signed into law, for example, Big Pharma-backed 340B Drug Pricing Program legislation devastating to the ability of rural hospitals to continue to even operate.

Now, 340B is a discount program designed to make Big Pharma phoot the bill, not American taxpayers.

Jennifer Van Laar exposes Walz at Redstate:

One way Big Pharma’s trying to kill the program is by pushing crushing bureaucratic regulations like those in the bills Walz signed. The manufacturers believe that the providers should in every instance pass the savings along to the patient, but, as Neil explained, if the patient has insurance they charge insurance the regular price and pocket the difference to fund other programs or simply keep their doors open. Some providers have expanded their oncology programs, which is a huge benefit to mostly elderly patients on fixed incomes who would otherwise have to travel long distances for cancer treatment. Others have introduced community dental programs, which nobody will argue is a bad thing. We know more than ever about the link between dental health and other medical issues, and many Americans don’t have dental insurance, period.

The bill Walz signed in May 2023 requires 340B covered entities to publicly report detailed financial information, including their total 340B acquisition costs and payments. These hospitals are either government-run or not-for-profit and participate in Medicare/Medicaid so it’s safe to say they already comply with extremely detailed financial reporting requirements.

Then in 2024, Walz signed a separate bill requiring an additional report from state 340B providers, this one reporting expenses for 340B program administration and payments made to any non-pharmacy entities. This bill levies a $500 daily fine on entities that don’t comply. For extremely small facilities with 10, 20, or 30 beds and a small staff, this is extremely burdensome from both a staff utilization standpoint and a technology cost standpoint. And who pays for that? The rural, conservative voters who will have less provider availability and who might see their community hospital close down completely.

Walz and Harris aren’t going to try to bring down drug costs for the consumer, and no matter whether it’s pharma or any other legislation or government program, you can believe in your bones they are going to make YOU pay for it.

Because according to Walz, that’s just being neighborly.

Never have two individuals so determined to break the back of the American voter and implement their socialist nightmare been this close to the top chairs. If you’re not scared you aren’t paying attention.
