Negotiating prices with drug companies is what countries with universal healthcare do already. Like I’m all for this if it actually lowers prices for Americans (idk if it will though, as Trump is a grifter first and foremost). I just find it highly amusing that people here HATE the idea of universal healthcare so bad here bc heaven forbid a non-white gets healthcare, but doing this, which is something nearly every government of the world with universal healthcare already does annually, is somehow fine? Is it fine only bc Trump is doing it?
Shorthand isn’t scribbles, you are correct. But not everyone can read shorthand, and furthermore, the bulk of doctors don’t use it, and rather use actual scribbles and some medical shorthand / abbreviations (I’m speaking from experience in the USA). I have had to have doctor’s re-issue prescriptions because they just put gobblygook on the paper that no one can read. What am I to do with that? I can’t just read their minds and / or guess what the doctor ordered???
