Dan Osborn: Stop handing huge subsidies to super-profitable Big Pharma

Taxpayers have sent Moderna $10 billion in COVID subsidies. The CEO of Moderna made $398 million in 2022. Moderna just more than quadrupled the price of the COVID vaccine. This is madness. Stop handing huge subsidies to super-profitable pharmaceutical companies. In the heat of the pandemic, Congress handed over tens of billions of dollars to Big Pharma. Some of this turned into the vaccine. Much of it turned into CEO pay. I will never support handing huge pharmaceuticals a blank check.

Dan Osborn: Don't let insurance companies make healthcare decisions

Health Care:

Deb Fischer (R): Decrease. Since joining the Senate in 2013, has opposed Obamacare. Sponsored an attempt to repeal it. "It's not affordable, and… many Nebraskans have been hurt by it." In 2019 voted to keep a Trump-era rule letting insurance companies sell low-quality Obamacare-exempt health plans.
Dan Osborn (I): Unclear. "(Healthcare) decisions shouldn't be made by insurance companies." Moderna's CEO "made $398 million" quadrupling the COVID vaccine price. "I will never support handing huge pharmaceuticals [companies] a blank check." Opposes taxpayers subsidizing employee health care for big companies that don't pay a livable wage.
