AOC: Congress Needs to End Stock Buybacks for Big Pharma

One reason why drugs are so expensive: Pharma CEO pay is often tied to their stock price.

That means Big Pharma spends more 💰 buying their own stocks than in research & dev to make prescriptions cheaper. It’s a huge Ponzi scheme.

Congress needs to end the stock buyback. https://t.co/dR0VAtvne0
