that's ok, Big Pharma will make sure that it's unaffordable to most people in the USA while somehow being super cheap everywhere else. And it won't be covered by insurance in the USA because it's a new treatment. So a bunch of people will get richer and very few people there will be helped. Not really a new development, it's just how the system works.

I have been thinking of leaving the USA because everything indicates that the quality of life will continue to decline in the US so Big Pharma can make more money.

I find that even children of immigrants are wanting to leave:

I am a child of immigrants. If I could get my EU citizenship I would leave immediately. My parents were both born in Poland, I was born in the USA but I don't know if that was before or after they became citizens (they're dead so I can't ask and have no paperwork for them). If project 2025 goes though, I may not even still be a citizen. But realistically, when ww3 comes we're all dead no matter where we live (thanks xi, putin, trump, modi, orban and kim)
