Janet Reno Dispenses Remedy for High Prescription Costs

Friends, that's Janet's RX plan. If you read it carefully, it is a prosecutorial plan that targets pharmaceutical companies. Threats and initimidation are woven throughout Reno's RX plan.

She just can't take her USAG hat off even now. Threats and intimidation is Janet's way. She is not familiar with compromise - it's her way or the highway. Besides the thought of Janet working with a state budget, I'd say that's way over her head. Coast Guard and Veterans should take note that she wants seniors to get a similar RX plan to yours.

This excerpt is very disturbing and Orwellian and I see HRC's fingerprints all over it:

"She hopes to persuade drug companies to give rebates to the state that would amount to savings of up to 65 percent below retail costs of brand-name drugs, the same savings enjoyed by the Coast Guard, the Department of Veterans Affairs and some other federal agencies.

"I want to use the purchasing power of the state of Florida," Reno told the group at the Fountains. "If the pharmaceutical companies said no, and told us to go fly a kite, we'd say you'll have to get prior approval before doctors prescribe their medications."

She also threatened to publish the names and products of drugmakers that refused to negotiate, in an attempt to pressure them. And companies that didn't negotiate would see their drugs knocked off the list of approved drugs for state programs.

Reno also advocated requiring drug companies to disclose all expenses related to indirect advertising to physicians, including entertainment, meals, junkets, samples and other goodies."

Floriduh Voter says: This will never happen but can you imagine the size of the bureaucracy that would manage this GIGANTIC POOL OF RX DRUG USERS and also investigate the pharmaceutical companies that are all over the United States?

I don't think any governor can cross state lines and order RX companies in other states to make mandatory disclosures to the State of Florida! ANY ATTORNEYS WANT TO WEIGH IN? FV

Janet Reno ping. Unreal RX plan. FV

[Quilla]

Sounds like blackmail to me. But considering the fact that she could have cared less what the Clintons did with 900+ FBI files, why should this surprise me? Thanks for the ping.

Blackmail and extortion and not very governor-like conduct. She is using Jesse Jackson's playbook.

Her mind-set has always been to "get somebody - anybody". Did you see her comment "We must protect the government." Her mind-set is prosecutorial with a touch of paranoia.

Her comments while she is campaigning are very disturbing. Her main opponent McBride's comments are just as disturbing. He has made comments that his time in Vietnam was "intoxicating" especially at night. Neither Reno or McBride are qualified to be Florida's governor. Both need psych evaluations IMO.

Ping re: McBride. See above.

[not-alone]

She is using Jesse Jackson's playbook. That what it sounds like

[floriduh voter]

Ping re: McBride above. He "liked" Vietnam.

"All political power comes from the barrel of a gun." -- Mao Tse Tung.

Jesse Jackson, maybe. Mao's "little red book" -- definitely. Someone needs to tell ol' "Shake and Bake" that she doesn't have tanks at her disposal any longer. Or does she?

Typical left-wing socialist politics, buying votes with that fictional "other people's money". And this scum has aspirations of becoming Florida's governor? Not in a million years.

[JoeSixPack1]

Her idea of drugs is still based on street crime. FDA approved drugs don't always have a competitor and her ideas here make her sound bafoonish.

Hopefully for her, her parkinson's approved drugs aren't the ones that she would have to ban because their manufacturer didn't compromise to her wishes.

GO JEB!!!!!!!!

This excerpt is very disturbing and Orwellian and I see HRC's fingerprints all over it:

Janet "Flamethrower" Reno, offers to bankrupt Florida's hospitals and drug companies in order to obtain a position of power. A truly scary woman/man.

There are 5 "Floridas"

1. Hispanic Miami
2. The Primarily Jewish Condo Commandos in Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm
3. The Gentile Geriatrics on the west coast from Ft. Myers to Hudson
4. The I-4 Industrialized Corridor - Tampa to Jacksonville
5. L.A., or Lower Alabama, "Rednekia," west from Jacksonville to Pensacola.

She will win only one area, Ft. Lauderdale/WPB (those who can take their oxygen tanks to the polls)

Reno will win three groups, the Greens, the Gays and the non/Gentile Geriatrics. Even the Gays will not be out 100% for her, as many are upset that she will not "come out."

Labor will not go for her, nor will the youth vote. Hispanics will all turn out in droves to vote against Elian-stealing Reno. The morphed photo of her with the helmet and MP-5 will be big. Her Parkinson's is getting much worse, and there are psyc effects at her doseage elvels.

With the exception of the 3d CD, (Corine Brown) the Black vote will stay home.

Final? Bush 62%, Reno 32%, Buchanan 5% (in Palm Beach County) Somebody Else 1% (Mr. Else will run big in Levy County - You have to know Florida to appreciate that....)

But Reno said her plan would mean more savings to more people.

4. The I-4 Industrialized Corridor - Tampa to Jacksonville

Don't you mean "Tampa to Daytona"?

I don't object you extending the corridor to include I-95 up to Jax, but you can't call it the I-4 corridor if you do. :-)

[Truth Addict]

BTW, aside from the glitch I mentioned earlier, the rest of your post is right on! A very astute analysis, as usual.

[KDD]

Thanks for the heads up.

[mafree]

Uh-oh it's "scare Grandma" time. Won't work Janet- you're still gonna lose.

GO JEB!!

[MindBender26]

That's because there was a government plot to bypass Levy and Gilcrist counties!

[Truth Addict]

a government plot to bypass Levy and Gilcrist counties!

LOL!

I think I'm going to have to dig out my tinfoil hat before I can understand what you're saying here. Levy and Gilcrist are a long way from I-4, they're kinda where the pan meets the handle.

Just found these cute graphics of Jeb Bush. The Guild has some of the other Bushes, all pretty cute.

Hypothetically, after Reno bans certain drug companies from doing business in Florida, that will result in the demise of multiple Floridians who relied on those very medications.

Hmmmmmmmm, I don't supposed Janet will be targeting companies who manufacturer HIV drugs. FV
