“What would happen if I came to you tomorrow and said: Hey, you know that thing you can wear on your wrist, the FDA about 3 weeks ago said it was for your heart, it is a medical device. Apple got its watch certified as a medical device because the next generation is so at good managing hearts. What if there is a Dexcom or something else you can put on your arm that is over the counter that helps you manage your blood glucose? What if there is something you can blow into that tells you you have a virus? We are going to order your antivirals. Those technologies actually exist, and this place lays layer after layer after layer of bureaucratic crap down to make it unable to write you a script. My understanding is that the AMA is going to oppose me in my election because I am trying to cut the price of healthcare and make your life healthier and better. Unlike the Democrats who play these stupid games of we are going to help people get their insulin less expensive, let's give Big Pharma $16 billion and we will buy down the price. How about doing things to actually make it so the co-ops, like Civica RX down the street that makes insulin cheaper, why would we have promoted crashing the price instead of subsidizing Big Pharma? It is actually insane. The left basically wants industrial policy to control you. We want markets to crash the price and make people healthier. Let's legalize the technology. It is moral. People have the right to take care of themselves.…”
