Trump Hands $35 Billion To Big Pharma For “Fat Pills”! (Jimmy Dore)

President Donald Trump has approved a $35 billion Medicare expansion to cover weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which Jimmy describes as a “welfare giveaway” to Big Pharma. He cites Fortune magazine and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s remarks, arguing that the decision benefits pharmaceutical giants like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly while adding to the national debt.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight concerns about the influence of corporate money in politics, the high cost of healthcare, and potential side effects of drugs like Ozempic. Jimmy concludes by contrasting Trump’s actions with his promises to cut spending and promote fiscal responsibility.
