Medicare Drug Bill on C-Span 2 now
Edited on Mon May-03-04 08:04 PM by Kanary
Rep Marion Berry on now

"Where's the shame, where's the conscience of those who passed this thing?"

Spending 80M to give "information", tricking people into thinking they are getting something.

"designated country boy"

Talked about the games at county fairs, which trick people into thinking they're going to "win" a teddy bear, and just take their money. Compared it to this "drug bill".

Rep. Marion Berry D-Arkansas

DUers from Arkansas, from what I see here, you can be proud of this Rep!

Edited on Mon May-03-04 08:12 PM by Kanary
but suppliers can change prices, what drugs are covered/not covered any time they wish.

They're working to repeal it.

This is said by Rep. Nancy Pelosi
