Bernie Sanders introduces bill against Big Pharma ads on USA media
-
Credit when it's due: This move is what RFKJ wants, 1000% right.
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who caucuses with Democrats, is backing an effort pushed by Trump Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to ban pharmaceutical ads on TV.
Sanders introduced the End Prescription Drug Ads Now Act alongside fellow independent Senator Angus King of Maine. They both caucus with the Democrats. If passed, the legislation would ban prescription drug ads from TV, radio, print, digital platforms, and social media.
RFKJ, during his confirmation, slammed Bernie & other opponents, for they take so much Big Pharma money.

a pair of policies being considered by [RFKJ, would technically allow ads, but]...
forc[e] ads to be longer [with disclosures] and, therefore, more expensive — or bar drugmakers from writing off direct-to-consumer ads as business expenses on their taxesClassic good cop bad cop, maybe they work together.
