08-20-26 FULL SHOW - Pharma Is Soaking Us

This episode of the podcast is a wake-up call for Americans, as the host delves into the country's alarming debt crisis and the consequences of inaction. With the national debt doubling in just ten years, from $20 trillion to $40 trillion, the host argues that the situation is dire and requires immediate attention. The guest, JD Hayworth, a former congressman and current advocate for the Pharmaceutical Reform Alliance, joins the conversation to discuss the need for "most favored nation" status for the US when it comes to drug prices. The host and JD Hayworth discuss the shocking differences in drug prices between the US and other countries, with Americans paying an average of $936 per month for certain medications, compared to $147 in Canada and $93 in the UK. They also explore the potential savings of $600 billion over the next decade if the US were to adopt most favored nation status. The conversation highlights the urgent need for reform and the importance of putting American interests first. Meanwhile, the host also touches on other pressing issues, including the rise of bears in Colorado, the importance of education, and the need for accountability in government.
