You're welcome.
Listened to the some Republican Congressmen who were all Physicians talk about the "negotiate best drug prices" (HR4) measure today. Bottom line: If this measure passes and goes into law we will see:
Higher prescription drug prices
Restrictions for those on Medicare for prescription drugs acceptable to Medicare (government bureaucrats) - because those that don't meet these Democrat sponsored price controls will NOT be allowed to be prescribed.
This Price negotiation for Prescription Drugs is NOT a feature of the Health Insurance plans that members of Congress get to choose to use - meaning those who pass this legislation will NOT have their prescription drug choices limited while Seniors will
Price "fixing" by government NEVER EVER WORKS - prices may be less for awhile but supplies dry up - causing eventual escalation in prices for all
Those with private sector sponsored prescription drug programs will see their drug prices go up, forcing either less insurance coverage for private sector employees or higher costs to companies for this benefit - meaning some may lose the benefit altogether who formally had it
Price fixing will lead to less research and development by pharmaceutical companies which will lead to MORE PAIN AND SUFFERING by those with physical/emotional/mental maladies.
FROM HEAR ON OUT I DUB EVERY ONE OF THE 100HR MEASURES AS BAD NEWS COMING FROM THE BAD NEWS BEARS!
Others have talked about the measure to stop grassroots lobbying such as is called for here with HR4. (every ONE of their 100 HR bills requires major grassroots lobbying of Congress critters, the Senate, and our President.)
