Pfizer Hikes Prices for Over 100 Drugs on January 1

[DhhD]

12. The George W Bush Medicare Prescription Drug Plan is scheduled to end in 2020. Congress could

end it now. This price gouging is what a Republican controlled Congress will do for the pooring of America. What is the Sanders Plan to reign in drug costs? This new price hick just blew Hillary Clinton's 20% Plan away. Will her plan evolve to a 30% drop in drug prices?

The Down Ticket Revolution of Bernie Sanders is very very important.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Monday signed into law landmark Medicare reform legislation that includes prescription drug benefits and has sparked a bitter fight between opponents and supporters.

On the day it passed the Senate, Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee called the overhaul "epochal in the sense it modernizes Medicare to provide 21st century care for our seniors."

Opponents of the legislation warned that seniors would demand that Congress revisit the issue once they realized what the bill does and does not do. High on the list of things not covered in the bill is a mechanism to stem rising prescription drug costs. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, who supported the bill, said the lapse was a "major weakness in this bill."

"The theory is that private sector competition will drive down the cost of drugs," Feinstein said last month upon the bill's passage. "That may happen, or it may not happen. We need to watch that, and we will. I feel confident that the leadership will make changes if the cost containment is not kept."
