Many drugs on Trump Rx are available elsewhere as generics for much lower prices.
Like, $16.64 elsewhere instead of $200 on Trump Rx.
That's a heck of a difference. (2/2) 🛟

Trump Rx: It Doesn’t Help Patients, but Gets Trump’s Name on Something (see correction)
Trump Rx doesn’t lower drug prices, offering coupons and overpriced generics while putting Trump’s name on another hollow program.

But in the time since my post, the PM has said he will not call an election. So that's the end of that I suppose. :)

Fair point. I had thought of the cost as a point against doing it. And I wouldn't be thrilled about it. But I would still vote.

News reports have it that Carney is considering a spring election to seek a majority. I'd be ok with Poilievre and his MAGA-styled hyperbolic nonsense being further sidelined so Carney can get on with things in the next four years.
