[QUOTE=Cindyd;2003077]I think it’s a really complex issue. I believe the negation would include prices for VA, military, Medicare, Medicaid, all fed healthcare programs, and if The US is the drugs only market, highly unlikely, prices would have to go up for Americans not on any of above program.
The VA already has better prices for the veterans they insure. Not all vets qualify for that insurance though. United Health Care should be able to reduce costs for people who have their Part D supplemental coverage but when you reach the donut hole which is 4130 for total cost of your prescriptions, your copays go up substantially(25% of the total cost) until you reach 6550 in total costs for your prescriptions. I pay
82 a month premium for my part D supplemental and my out of pocket this year will be over 2k. I guess the fact that I am on Medicare means even UHC can't get a better price than "retail".
