We make your prescription drugs cheaper by saying if companies won’t make prescription drugs affordable, we’ll just make them ourselves. A vial of insulin goes from $300 a vial to $50. That's a bill from @janschakowsky and @SenWarren.
After waiting around all night for Republicans to make a deal—with themselves—on a procedural rule for the week, Democrats showed up to the Rules Committee for an 8am meeting. Unsurprisingly, when we showed up, we were told there is still no deal. Their chaos is only matched by their incompetence. Here is the statement I would have made if we had gaveled in on time: “Madam Chair, the way this place is being run by your so-called leadership is beyond incompetent. This is no way to run a banana stand, let alone the Congress of the United States of America. “And I mean this with no disrespect to you or your staff, but the way this majority is behaving is embarrassing for the institution and it is bad for the country. You guys couldn’t organize a two-car funeral! It’s pathetic. “You have razor thin majority. You’ve been in total control for 16 months now. And you still can’t get it right. “The alternative to this dysfunction is that you actually work with us on this side of the aisle to move forward legislation in a bipartisan way. You could do that, but you have not. “You are advancing legislation that may be good for your donors—but this is lousy for our constituents. And it’s lousy for America. “So here we are. The dysfunction continues. I have an honest question, what changed between midnight—when you sent us home—and 6am today when you told us we were coming in? “What the hell did you figure out at 3am that you couldn’t figure out with a zoom call over the weekend? I’m happy to yield to the Chairwoman if you’ll tell me what changed overnight so we can at least get some kind of guarantee that this is not another exercise in futility. “You continue to fight with yourselves and find yourselves in the same mess over and over and over again when your bad bills inevitably implode at the last minute because you didn’t do your homework. “So madam chair, I am done dignifying this exercise as if everything is normal. It is not normal. “You clearly didn’t do your homework and the American people are paying the price.”
