General Discussion

Cuban appeared to address these critics in a since-deleted social media post, which was seen by multiple media outlets, including Forbes and Mediaite.

“If anyone thinks I’m going to put politics ahead of helping Americans reduce their cost of healthcare and pharmaceuticals, they are a f****** idiot,” Cuban wrote. “Tell me one person who thinks that healthcare economics are well run in this country.”

“It’s the biggest affordability issue, and, the greatest fear of most families is that they won’t be able to afford a significant healthcare or medication cost. The goal is the goal. And that goal is to change healthcare. I’ve been saying it for years and will continue to work on this,” he added.

Cuban later explained why he removed the post, writing, “Deleted the last post because I decided cursing didn’t make my point. It hurt it. And I rarely care about cursing.”
