Uh, lady, the evil Bush administration is protecting the public - from zealots trying to sue the drug companies into bankruptcy.
I agree... people don't understand that the interests of companies that provide us with services are our interests if we want to keep enjoying their services. It's like people who think Bush's Labor Department is evil for siding with companies over workers... if Bush didn't side with the companies, if he raised the labor costs of these companies these companies would go out of business and the workers would be unemployed... so Bush is on the right side of this.
No kidding - who does she think pays for those huge lawsuits? It's every consumer who actually has to pay for their medications.
But I don't think this is much more than a step in the righ tdirection. What really needs to happen is for this to be the stepping stone to tort reform.
