A possible settlement to resolve thousands of federal and state lawsuits the Sackler Family would give up ownership of Purdue Pharma the company blamed for much of the opiate epidemic and pay 3000000000. 00 of their own money but for that but the punishment for the socceroos wouldnt end there the times goes on report that in addition to that there are 3000000000. 00 cash payout the sackless would sell another drug company they own monday pharma and contribute an additional 1500000000. 00 from the proceeds. This could essentially force the Sackler Family out of the opioid business to the tune of 4500000000. 00 just their own expenses but are just bankruptcies and fines and does that bring justice to the millions upon millions of lives destroyed by the Opioid Epidemic lets find out as we start watching the whole us. Go to. The. Real thing its like. As you said a lot of. What they like you know that i got. With. This. Is exactly. What the watching the harks i am tyrrel for the time topica
And jailing dissidents and bloggers and journalists will turn to its historic enemies and treat them with magnanimity. Its a silly contention. But that said, i think the way that the issue was used in the soviet context was that it was a tool to help bring about the end of the soviet union, not merely to contain the soviet union, but to end the soviet union and so, too, it can be used in the iranian context. When you look at the boldness of someone like senator jackson who confronted the soviet union and directly linked most favored nation status to improvements in human rights and free immigration, that was a tool which drove the soviets absolutely crazy, and if you read the memoirs of any of these guys, you see when carter and reagan would bring up the names of dissidents, they really, really hated it, and i think thats one sign that its the right approach. I think that human rights is actually a real achilles heel of the Iranian Regime because they are dependent upon external actors
Little skeptical wondering whether or not the tone of the country back in 65 to 70 was different than five years from today. Can you reassure me that the data or can you sort of elaborate on what you think the tone will be in five years or what makes you believe that the data will win out . Well, the good news is in five years i will be retired. No, look, i cant tell you what its going to be like in five years in our country. What i can say is dont forget in 1965 why we had to pass Voting Rights and all that stuff. Remember the part of the country that opposed all this stuff. Thats precisely the part of the country that delayed implementation of medicaid. Let me tell you about my high school. I grew up in rural arkansas. Brown vs. Board of education was 1954. We finally got total integration in 197071, my senior year. How long is that . So that part of the country totally opposed all of that stuff. And yet in five years, every Southern State had had created a medicaid program. The stat
That bell being running, then i believe that as youre doing this in terms of leadership function, we run the risk of really losing an enterprise is that the United States essentially pioneered. In terms of another priority that i think youre starting to hear a little bit about, we have to put patients at the center of this. So if you look at the statistics we have 7,000 diseases. Yet, we have treatments for, i believe, dr. Collins, 500 of those. The system is doing its work. Its churning through the science and getting the outcomes to the doors of the fda. The fda is doing its work and then we get some approvals and we put that out into the system. But at the rate were going, i dont think that any of the diseases that were all going to be afflicted with at some point in time really stand a chance of being covered in the near term. So i think the speed issue thats been articulated by many of you is of critical importance. So i think as this group does its work, figuring out what are tho
