It's not every day that both political parties agree on an issue but the push to cut drug prices seems to be one of them. Asmongold jokes 'Maybe we just need to get them all in a raid group and take down the boss of high drug prices.'

Biden Administration's Plan

The Biden administration is set to negotiate Medicare drug prices directly with manufacturers. Asmongold quips 'Looks like the government is trying to be the loot master and distribute the epics at a better price.'

Copycats to the Rescue

The CEOs said they would welcome cheaper copycat drugs into the market once the patents expire. Asmongold comments 'Just like in World of Warcraft when a new expansion comes out there are always those cheap knockoff items that flood the auction house.'
