New Big Pharma Harry and Louise type ad to scare folks into paying more for their prescriptions

I had to do a doubletake on this Big Pharma ad. It was reminiscent of the Harry and Louise ads that killed healthcare reform before.

They must have already been filmed, that how ready Big Pharma is to fight this. Now, I’m seeing more ads for Biden’s initiative and they are pretty powerful as they go to the hard numbers and the obscene amounts Americans are being charged for some prescription drugs vs. “access” (what does that even mean?).
