Mojo ♻️<p>For decades, American Big Pharma has been scheming to undermine Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), which has given Australians access to some of the cheapest medicines in the developed world. Their goal? Higher profits at the expense of affordable healthcare. They’d love to see Australia adopt a US-style privatised system, where individuals are forced to pay exorbitant prices for the same medicines we get for just a few dollars.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/BigPharma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigPharma</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PBS</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AffordableHealthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AffordableHealthcare</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HealthcareForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthcareForAll</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PharmaGreed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PharmaGreed</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/LNPfail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LNPfail</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-21/behind-americas-decades-long-fight-to-dismantle-the-pbs/105078864" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-03-21/beh</span><span class="invisible">ind-americas-decades-long-fight-to-dismantle-the-pbs/105078864</span></a></p>
