Ron John the Clown opposes lower drug costs because it's 'punishing the pharmaceutical industry'
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said this week that he opposed efforts to lower drug costs because it would result in "punishing the pharmaceutical industry."
During an interview on Monday, Fox radio host Brian Kilmeade told Johnson that allowing Medicare to bid on drug prices would be "bad" even if it lowers costs.
"The industry is going to pay a huge price and we're going to pay the price on innovation," Kilmeade declared.
"Correct," Johnson agreed. "You're absolutely right. When you start punishing the pharmaceutical industry, you're going to have less innovation; you are going to have fewer life-saving drugs. That's not a good thing."

Ron John and Kilmeade, the stupidity in the air must have been strong then.

that has so much money laying around that they constantly run ads on teevee for their products despite the fact that people cannot go to a store and buy them because they need a prescription? WTF?
