The FTC has halted its lawsuit accusing OptumRX, CVS, and Express Scripts of breaking the law by inflating insulin prices.
Trump illegally fired the two Democratic members of the commission, and now these corporations are going to get away with price gauging insulin.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result is demagoguery and corruption.

None of this is about efficiency. The goal is to strip the government of capacity to check oligarch abuses. There's a ratchet effect too. Once govt is stripped down and can't deliver, it feeds more cynicism of govt, which justifies more cuts to government.
