💊 🎥 **‘MAGA math’: Dr Oz jumps through hoops – and changes the laws of math – to explain Trump claims about lowering drug prices**
_“The president does the calculation by saying, ‘OK, if a drug was $100 and you reduce it to $50, it’s 100 percent cheaper because you’re taking $50 off and left with only $50, so the amount you took off the price is equal to the amount that’s left. They’re equal so it’s 100 percent.’”_

@ThreeSigma Difficult questions whether initial or follow up are likely to mean no access to the politician in the future is granted.
@bibliolater
The correct follow up is not to then ask, “so how many drugs have halved in price as you describe? How many have become 1/10 the price, as you say the president was describing! Isn’t it still bullshit?”
