"HHS on Wednesday released an analysis of the Republican and Democratic plans, and predicted that the House Republican plan would result in a 60 to 85 percent cut in prescription drug prices for seniors who now pay full retail prices. HHS expects drug insurance to cost seniors around $34 per month.

The Senate Democratic drug proposal, by comparison, would raise retail prices by 15 percent or more, according to HHS, and impose monthly co-pays of $40 to $60. The result would be a 10-year cost to taxpayers of $600 billion or more, according to HHS."

Somehow I have difficultly believing the above. If it is true, for some reason I don't understand, than the Dems are incredibly dumb.

More cost cutting, taxpayer saving measures from our Republican controlled House. I'm so glad the era of big government is over.

Another cog in the super top secret plan to shrink Gov't. I don't even need to comment on the merits of either plan, as both will be enormous failures and will produce innumerable unintended consequences.

Democratic plan would have cost taxpayers even more....
Democrats and liberal groups on Tuesday acknowledged that taxpayers would pay more ...

More, just a little more.

Same sh*t, different day.

GOP's $305 BILLION Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Advances in House - June 19, 2002 "Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes," George W. Bush - SOURCE George was right. They haven't. George W.(FDR) Bush and his socialist buddies in Congress have. "The surest way to bust this economy is to increase the role and the size of the federal government."

The rats and rinos continue in their never ending quest to get EVERYONE on some form of welfare. Gee, maybe W will veto it!

objections of Democrats, who believe the plan doesn't spend enough and leaves too much decision-making in the hands of private industry and beneficiaries.

And we certainly can't have that, now can we?
