This was a government program that worked, because of conservative principles that went into it.
It merely subsidized drug payments allowing private firms and manufacturers to collaborate, it used the gap in coverage to encourage people to be thrifty, but still covered them for large expenses on drugs. Gore would have given us a single payer government agency that would have been a nightmare.
It has made a huge differences in millions of elderly and the disabled lives.
I can’t prove it, but I know that providing people with the right medication saves hospital stays....and saves money in the long run.
GWB promised drug coverage in his campaign and delivered on it, in a responsible manner. It is nice to see him vindicated!
Correct.
It sound as though you are a socialist.
Yes, it is much cheaper to pay for insulin than a foot amputation or take care of someone that has gone blind. It is also much less expensive to pay for heart medication than to pay for open heart surgery and rehabilitation.
Would I prefer an end to the socialist/communist programs? Absolutely! However, that is never going to happen, so at least steal as little as possible from the taxpayers to cover the unconstitutional promises that have been made.
