As I understand it, one part of the plan is to get rid of the new Medicare presciption thingy

I dont think they want to get rid of it. I think they want to eliminate the section that says the government cant negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to get a better deal on prices...or in other words, they want the gov to use its monopoly power to force the drug companies to lower prices and in one swoop end all drug research in this country. They want to fix prices at low level so they can score political points...just like the Dem congress criters who used to take senior citizens to Canada to buy their prescriptions.

Thanks for that explanation and I'm sure you are right about what they want to do. As we all kow, price fixing is a GREAT way to destroy something.
