I don’t want to engage in whataboutism but the fact is when they pass a law for one thing it’s at the cost of something else that will never see the floor
The house passed a bill to help reign in insurance-pharmacy middle men (PBMs) who are directly responsible for the shitty system and pharmacy closures we are all experiencing. Schumer wont put it on the floor because it’s not a priority. But Musks private jets are.
Been calling that this would happen in 2024 (election year) for 3 years now. It’s the one thing all Americans agree on. But no matter the reason it’s a good thing. Hopefully something actually happens.

We have a bill that passed the house that will save the government 1 billion and help fix our drug middleman issues (PBMs). The Senate won’t put it on the floor
The PBMs and their back room rebates are largely to blame. There’s legislation that passed the house to bring more light to these but the Senate won’t put it on the floor.
