Big Pharma RINO Bill Cassidy Smoked By Trump-Endorsed Candidate In Louisiana Senate Primary
Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) came in third in Louisiana's Republican Senate primary on Saturday - marking the first time in nearly 15 years that a sitting US Senator has lost a primary in a regularly scheduled election.
Instead, Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow led with ~45% of the vote, while state Treasurer John Fleming came in second at 28%.
Letlow and Fleming will now face off in a June 27 runoff.
Cassidy was a notable fan of Obamacare, and voted to convict Trump during impeachment over the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. He also helped sink Casey Means' nomination for surgeon general, which drew sharp criticism from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and his MAHA movement. He's been labeled a big pharma shill by opponents.
With Bill Cassidy's primary defeat last night, @PeterKolchinsky has one less Big Pharma puppet to play with in Congress. https://t.co/NLmnYVaIXQ

Das ist die Gesundheitsreform: Die Pharmabranche jammert, die Krankenkassen wittern Symbolpolitik (N-TV)
|
|
|
Die Gesundheitsreform soll die leeren Geldbeutel der Krankenkassen wieder füllen. Zur Kasse gebeten werden Ärzte, Krankenhäuser - und auch die Patienten. Vor allem Besserverdiener müssen draufzahlen... --- Mehr Geld will die Bundesregierung durch eine neue Zuckerabgabe einnehmen: eine Steuer auf mit Zucker gesüßte Erfrischungsgetränke wie Limonaden und Cola. Die Hersteller sollen zwischen 32 und 36 Cent je Liter bezahlen - je mehr Zucker im Getränk, desto höher die Abgabe. 450 Millionen Euro jährlich sollen damit reinkommen. Das Geld sollen die gesetzlichen Kassen bekommen, sie sollen es unter anderem für Prävention nutzen. Die Ernährungsindustrie glaubt eher nicht, dass die Steuer wirken wird: Der Chef des Lebensmittelverbands Christoph Minhoff meint in der "Rheinischen Post", es gehe nur darum, mit dieser Steuer Haushaltslöcher zu stopfen.. --- Richtig!
