Ron DeSantis: ‘We’ve Got to Stop Doing Policy Just on the Basis of What Pharma Wants’

‘We’ve got to do policy on the basis of what the people think is the best’

EXCERPT:

DESANTIS: “But, you know, we’ve got to stop doing policy just on the basis of what Pharma wants. I mean, we’ve got to do policy on the basis of what the people think is the best.

(Applause)

So, that’s been a focus, we’re still in that fight. We may even end up in litigation over this potentially, but we were happy to lead the way. Other states like Colorado and others have also wanted to do this as well. We actually have a place, there’s a company’s that’s got place in Polk County, massive warehouse ready to go. I toured it last year and we looked at it. It’s a really impressive facility. You buy the drugs, apply the appropriate labels. Here’s the thing: these are the same drugs. I mean, that’s the thing. It would be one thing if they were different and there were safety, but there’s no safety, it’s the exact same thing. So we’re working on that.”
