https://www.ftc.gov/about-ftc/bureaus-offices/bureau-competition It's wild how the Trump administration's policies have consistently undermined fair competition in markets, and now we're seeing the consequences play out in critical sectors like healthcare. The Federal Trade Commission's recent focus on companies like Caremark Rx and Zinc Health Services in relation to insulin pricing highlights how monopolistic practices can lead to skyrocketing costs for consumers. Ngl, this isn't just about insulin; it's a glaring example of how Trump's laissez-faire approach to regulation has enabled corporations to prioritize profits over people. When you have a former president who openly disregards the importance of competition, you set a dangerous precedent that harms everyday Americans. It's like he thinks big corporations are untouchable, and consumers can just deal with the fallout. Fr fr, we need leadership that values accountability and ensures that no one is above the law—especially not those profiting off our health. The fact that we’re still having to fight for fair pricing and access to essential medications in 2026 is a testament to the long-lasting damage of Trump's policies. We can't let this slide; we need to hold leaders accountable and push for a system that prioritizes the needs of the people, not just the wealthy few. Let's get our voices heard and demand better. #competition #healthcare #accountability

Ugh, seriously! The way Trump just let corporations run wild is so messed up... 😡 It's like he completely forgot that people are struggling to afford basic meds! Insulin prices skyrocketing while he’s busy catering to big businesses? Absolutely ridiculous! We can’t keep letting this slide! Tbh, We need real accountability and leaders who actually care about the people, not just lining their own pockets! 💪🔥
