Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., declared Sunday that drug costs are “actually coming down” despite scrutiny into the pharmaceutical industry and voters’ concerns about rising prescription drug cost rises.
In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press,” Barrasso warned against a governmentt takeover of healthcare as some progressive Democrats have called for.
“Drug costs ….are actually coming down,” said Barrasso, a medical doctor whose wife has battled breast cancer. “But we need bipartisan support at a time where the Democrats want to take over all of healthcare and eliminate insurance from 160 million Americans.”
“My concern is that the biggest threat that I see to the freedom and economic [well-being] of this country is the complete government takeover of healthcare which is where the Democrats are going — this Medicare for all with longer lines, rationing of care, higher taxes, less freedom,” Barrasso asserted.
