Lies that could have broad political, financial and international implications required Biden’s closest aides and supporters to perpetuate them and the mainstream media to largely ignore them.

Many critics of the U.S. healthcare system assert that if the country were to embrace a U.K. or Canadian-style government-run health care system, no one would be denied care. Those critics are either misinformed or intentionally trying to deceive the public, because government-run health care systems frequently delay or deny needed medical care.

The overall goal is to return 340B to a targeted program to ensure that low-income and uninsured patients have access to lower drug prices—not a windfall for hospitals.
