"His death put a new celebrity face on the debate about rising healthcare costs in the US - an issue that Republicans and Democrats have long recognised needs reform but have disagreed on the best ways to resolve the problem."

What they meant to say was, "Republicans and Democrats have long recognized the US should just replicate successful #Healthcare systems used in other developed countries, but their owner donors pay them to vote against that."

Bribery and the Global Pharmaceutical Industry: An Exploration of

Abstract
Bribery by the pharmaceutical industry is one common manifestation of corruption that can be found in a pharmaceutical system. This study
analyzes patterns of bribery in the global pharmaceutical industry through a systematic review of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) Working Group on Bribery Phase Reports published between 1999 and February 2025. These reports document
investigations and enforcement actions related to bribery across jurisdictions. An inductive thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns
in cases implicating pharmaceutical firms. We found patterns across many of the cases we studied. For example, bribery was often approved by
high-ranking managers. Also, the use of intermediaries and complicated corporate structures to obscure bribes. Multiple cases revealed the
involvement of subsidiaries, third-party vendors, or shell companies that processed payments disguised as legitimate transaction. Reported
bribes amounted to about US$12.6 million, with sanctions exceeding US$1.1 billion. Government officials, regulatory authorities, and
healthcare providers were bribe

"Trump🚨has single handedly killed Biden's revitalization of U.S. factory investment.

The tariffs are just a corrupt scheme to get companies and countries to pad Trump's pocket.

All they have done for our economy is raise prices and crater manufacturing."
