“Giving a single government agency the power to arbitrarily set the price of medicines with little accountability, oversight or input from patients and their doctors will have significant negative consequences long after this administration is gone,” Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) President Stephen J. Ubl said in a statement.

Oh… I can see it now. Patients and their doctors begging for more expensive drugs… The government saying, “Yeah! These fucking people aren’t paying enough! Let’s negotiate with the drug companies for HIGHER prices! That will get us reelected!”

Get fucked, Stephen J. Ubl, president of Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.

PhRMA, AKA the industry lobby that runs those ads in the NYT showing smiling patients and talking about how wonderful the world's pharmaceutical companies are, while fighting tooth-and-nail against Medicare price negotiations that would benefit seniors and the most vulnerable populations. This is one of those associations where if they're for something, you should be against it, and vice versa.
