The Congressional Budget Office also said this plan wouldn't save money.

Bah. Walmart. $4. My diabetic wife gets her meds cheaper paying cash at walmart not using insurance then she does paying the medical benefits price at other places.

If she remembers her insurance she gets $2 prescriptions.

IMportant post. The Dems are about to make a bad situation TERRIBLE - horrible - resulting in detrimental affects for sick people in this nation re: price FIXING which is what this measure really proposes - always leads to shortages and higher prices eventually. TELL THE DEMS TO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM PRESCRIPTION DRUGS "PRICES".

once voters are educated about the possible downsides of the proposal and the implications for public health, the public overwhelmingly opposes negotiations.

Dems rely on their constituents staying UNeducated. If they knew the truth about adult stem cell successes vs. ESC tumor growth, for example, the 'rats would lose a lot of voters. They can only win with the elite or the ignorant. Count on the MSM to help keep up the ignorance. Sad.

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it is "free" (federalized).

I have no problem with pharmeceutical companies making a good profit for new prescription drugs however I would like to see shorter time frame before a "generic" cost saving alternative of expensive drugs becomes available for people with little or no insurance !!!

"...the federal government negotiate drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies..."


The government isn't going to "negotiate" jack squat. Its going to force price controls on private companies, ramming prices down their throats... and screw the investors who have money invested in the companies.

Jimmuh Cartah once tried that with gasoline.
