That's it. $8.00 dollars! You don't see something wrong here??? We do, indeed, need healthcare reform, including regulation of the pharmaceutical companies.
Why don't the crazies stand up at town hall meetings and yell about this instead of fictional "death panels."  |
Maybe we need that type of reform, maybe not. However, can you point to the specific parts of any proposed bill that would get the medication to the public for anywhere close to $8? I haven't. Remember, just because you see a problem that needs "reform" and just because a bill is labeled as "reform" doesn't mean that the bill will address your concerns.
