Aren’t Obama’s Insider Dealings With Drug Companies So They Will Pay $150 Mill in Ads for Obamacare Ironic?
Question by DAR: Aren’t Obama’s insider dealings with drug companies so they will pay 0 mill in ads for Obamacare ironic?
“In an ad last year called “Billy,” Obama explained that “the pharmaceutical industry wrote into the prescription drug plan that Medicare could not negotiate with drug companies.” Obama noted Tauzin shepherded the legislation to passage before going to work for PhRMA. “That’s an example of the same old game-playing in Washington,” Obama intoned. “I don’t want to learn how to play the game better. I want to end the game-playing.”
Obama deserves points for efficiency, if not consistency. Now the drug industry doesn’t even have to bother writing legislation. It just has to shake hands in a back room with Obama. Dick Cheney should be jealous. The allegedly underhanded, CEO-coddling vice president merely had a secret energy task force. Obama has bought off an industry group in a secret deal to spare it the worst of a far-reaching government scheme. ”

It’s insane that those groups, including insurance gave almost a billion to Congress or I mean donated. Great article and written by a true gun slinger. Gunny how the guy set it up and then slip over into his new position. just as i stated no telling what they have saved.
It’s sad that we cannot import the cheaper drugs from canada. I had wanted someone to open a company and bring the drugs from Europe and Canada and Mexico that we sell for pennies on the dollar. i know Europe can get the SSRIs for nothing, but 90% still use St. John’s Wort for depression.
I cannot believe our President would go back on his word and actually do this.
