Tier 1 is ok, but beyond that, forget it. The passage of the bill was a travesty, with the voting kept open into the wee hours so the pharmaceutical reps could buy more congressmen, including a number of Democrats, with campaign contributions and promises of jobs for members and staff.

Medicare should be forced to negotiate drug prices, not prohibited from doing so.

To get anything done, we'll need a Supermajority in the senate.
