It's always whatever it takes to help the old. The usa was made for and will die by the hands of 'the greatest generation' aka the greediest generation
All drug prices should be heavily regulated and capped, not just the ones old people need.
3 of them are diabetes medicine. That is not exclusively an "old person's disease"
4 others are for heart disease. Again, not exclusively a geriatric issue.
Given the obesity issues that America has in abundance, I would suggest these drugs are well chosen to help a signifigant portion of the population.
America is also the country that ( i don't know why , i'm not american ) glorify obesity ( aka body shaming ) and you are so upset when someone give an alternative opinion. I mean, land of free speech, but a massive groupthink. I mean, in europe no one give a shit for things that are really controversial and no one loses his job.
