Government must flex monopsony muscle to bargain down prices of Rx drugs, med tech for Medicare & Medicaid. All other countries do this! 4/x

(This is currently prohibited by the federal law that enacted Medicare Part D. Both candidates Trump & HRC pledged to undo this.) 5/x

-
Remove entry barriers for medical education, build more med schools–more physicians in key fields will drive down costs! 7/x
-
The fight for universal healthcare is also a fight to lower the blood-sucking costs, not just to expand our crappy system as is. 8/x
