@@edmunddantes935 - Whitehouse doesn't want the white house, he's been asked many times before and he thinks he can get more accomplished doing what he's doing now. And I agree.

Yes! Fix it! Thank you Mr. Whitehouse
Thank you Mr. Whitehouse! You are hero.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse, as always.
Ty Sen. Whitehouse
For all the hard work you put into these presentations, All Americans benefit. Tyvm.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. You see what they are doing to us. I'm so glad we have you. Bless you, sir.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
Thank you, Senator.
Senator Whitehouse is amazing! Actually doing the business of the people, by the will of the people, and exclusively for the people! Couldn't ask for a better man!
Thank you, Sen. Whitehouse! 🇺🇸
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all the XLNT work you so consistently do every single day!! I’m so grateful that you’re there! Thank you so much!!
Rhode Islanders are proud of him.
I can see why! I am too, but I was born in MA. We're neighbors.
Thank You Senator Whitehouse for all you do for the American people. 🎉🇺🇲❤️🕊
🇺🇲💯 Gotta love Sen. Whitehouse! 💯🇺🇲
There should be no “dark money “. All political money should be completely open to inspection by virtually everyone.
We need to get rid of Citizens United, which is the law that made bribery legal.
Why are they allowed to do that? Another write-off, as if they don't make enough money! Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. I appreciate your efforts.
It's a big club and we ain't in it.
Hi Senator please stop Trump and investigate SCOTUS ..... America Love you & your Honesty 🙏💙🙏
I’m sick of these outrageous ads!! They hope by repetition of 25 commercials an hour that you will succumb to the brainwashing happening.
Advertising's expertise in behavioral modification has one purpose. Unless it's a public service announcement, Pharma has NO BUSINESS advertising to anyone but qualified doctors. How much does Pharma spend on advertising, anyway?
@@elizabethstewart12 I call them what they are! *Drug Pushers* and the networks pimp for them. That's how I see it.
corporate slavery. We, the many, enslaved to the 1%.
This representative is genuine.
My friends and I talk about the commercials all the time.
We completely agree sir.
Thank you and keep pushing.
Keep up the great work, Senator Whitehouse. You give many of us real confidence and hope in our political system, heck, even hope for a fair and prosperous future for our county!
Have them pay taxes so they don't have money for marketing.
Greetings, Excellency Senator Whitehouse. Exactly.
People in Europe only paying 15% of what Americans are paying for the same drugs ought to speak volumes about the influence of big pharma on American legislators.
EXACTLY!!
What's wrong with motivating people to visit their doctors to get prescriptions for amazing new drugs, by name?
@@elizabethstewart12~ Why are you asking me? Perhaps you should ask Senator Whitehouse.
Check out Hawley, he is swimming in dark money.
Wish we had more like you Senator Whitehouse ❤
I love ads that "May alleviate" a minor issue in your life with a "May cause death" side effect!
Ever since they started with those ads many years back I thought
1. That doesn't sound like a healthy medication and
2. Shouldn't the doctor be the one telling you about the medication. The one with that actually has the education.
Also stop giving out patents for items like insulin. That's natural and all they do is mess with it genetically to keep the patents. Absolutely ridiculous.
Whitehouse for President 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you Senator! Just last night my husband and I commented (not the 1st time) that 90% of TV advertising is for drugs!
Americans are tired of paying 4 to 5 times for the same drugs as other countries.
Thanks for your service 💙✝️🛐🙏💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
There was a time that Pharma was not allowed to advertise. Time to turn back the clocks on this.
Sick and tired of the drug commercials where if your working the formulary of your work healthcare won’t allow to be filled. How insane to watch commercials only rich people can afford.
Get them fools!
If only you could be our next president..
I could have hope for a country with less hate and more heart
Unbelievable. Basic questions that have been dealt with are gamed..
A reparations idea. All the dollars Pharma charged for more than $50.00 per insulin prescription over decades, should calculate those earnings and reimburse Affordable Care Act funds and community health services. If they want to challenge it.. make it all charges over $40.
In Australia, drug companies are not permitted to advertise Schedule Prescription Drugs.
I remember those ads! I thought then they were crazy!
Get dark money out of our democracy!
They have been doing this since their inception
Thank you, yet again!
Thank you.
Pork Chops are the ONLY cure for loneliness.
No drug ads in Europe or GMO’s either, plus medical care for all. Lets take care of these crimes…
Lying, bragging and embellishments are our 1st amendment right. BELIEVING IS ON THE INDIVIDUAL.
Senator Whitehouse's description of drug ads is another reason why I haven't owned a television since around 2008.
Get rid of drug ads. They drive the cost of the drugs up!
How about the whole elected official crowd not being lobbyist after leaving work. Could that work?
Put Doctors in charge of prescribed medicines. End all advertising. You can do that with lawyers, too. No advertising.
Why are meds. drugs so expensive. Senator Whitehouse why are company's owner's CEO, CFO & their children so greedy😢😢😢😢
Why can't we find a few more men with this Senator's work ethic to help the American people. Please God, send us more men like Senator Whitehouse.
Most of these drugs have such severe side effects that they cause more harm than good..
How about we stop lobbyists from lobbying Congress in the Senate to me that makes a lot of sense with term limits for everybody from this dog catcher right on up to the supreme Court
My love is bigger than any of lobbyists 😂
The dancing drug commercials are the worst. Forever drugs make you so happy you gotta dance. Bull crap.
Thank you ❤
Tell me more about these ancient scrolls called commercials.
Enact campaign finance reform eliminate citizens united. Go back to equal time.
Yep and I would just love to hear the rationale behind me having to pay 30 bucks a month penalty for the rest of my life because I delayed in signing up for drug coverage through Medicare, which I don't need. I don't take a single drug. Doesn't mean I haven't had to if I had a hospital stay, but I don't have any ongoing need for a drug. And yet here I am, the powers that be say that I am a bad girl! I should be penalized.
Get 'em senator we shouldn't have ads for medical stuff or for lawyers.... Both kinds of advertising make you think that you need something that you really could do without.... Roevember
Ask your Doctor about Deludemol!
Can you give us a list of congress that are taking donations from big pharma
The Apigenic Protocol is already on store shelfs and you have all of humanity to answer to.
Please! You are the only hope for real Americans. Natural foods are the best.. hahaha I love you 😍
I'm not a lone😂
I forgot about Tryopenin.
Why are Senator's and House Representative's spending most their time at these meetings trying to do what the courts of America should be doing? .gov Lawyers job not Senate and House. No wonder America is a mess.
From Canada:
Here we are subjected to the misleading onslaught of American drug ads because we get many US channels.
But these drugs ads are illegal on Canadian tv.
Only the USA and New Zealand permit these ridiculous harmful ads.
Greetings Excellency Senator Whitehouse. I urge unanimous Yes vote on Senate Bill #1 as soon as possible, please.
To encourage big pharma to do the right thing?
You filed an ethics complaint against Alito before, isn't it time for another one? I continue to be mystified by your lack of focus on the current scandals of SCOTUS
Dick Durbin said that they think it's not worth looking into Alito the democrats are failing the American people again
We didnt need all of these drugs 50 years ago. Maybe the issue is processed foods, social media, and greed. If people have decent jobs that pay a living wage with opportunity to progress in your field, they dont get depressed.
😂
Corruption, More corporation,lies more lies
🤮👿🤮👿🤮👿
Awesome Mr Winehouse!
Lol! A cure for loneliness!!!
Whitehouse for the White House!
These pharma companies don't even tell you what the drugs are for. FUCK UM! Ban them like you banned the tobacco companies in the 90's!!!
💬 I knew there was more to those 📢🔉🔊 BLAIRING commercials breaking in - every time a program looks like it may become interesting 🤠 Yup‼ G~G 🗳☑🇺🇸.
