FYI, Baucus who is in charge of the healthcare plan overhaul, has received over 3 million in campaign donations from big pharm. Any plan he settles on will protect pricing for his supporters.
Finally—and this is more of an inside Washington issue—Obama endorsed ripping Medicare coverage decisions away from Congress. That would mean that lobbies representing different medical specialties, drug companies, device makers, hospitals, home health nurses and other providers would cease to have influence over their own payment rates as they do now.
