"So why does our government who is so very concerned () about our well being, allow the pharmaceutical companies to continue in this mode. Why should American women be subjected to paying over $800 for a 90 day supply of the same medication her German counterpart pays $139 for a 90 day supply."

Wouldn't that entail "government" getting involved in private industry's "right" to set it's own rates & let competition rule the marketplace?


Then CABO writes

I believe every American should have the right to secure whatever level of insurance coverage they want

"and the government has no business regulating that condition."

What if millions of Americans WANT the government to help them access and secure whatever level of insurance they want? What if millions of Americans over 65 WANT the govermnment to design and run a health insurance program for them? And what if millions more want the governemnt to supply their health care needs as veterans of the U.S. Military.

It seems arbitrary to say "whatever you want" but hten put the restriction that you can't "want" anything that would save money over the cost of profit-making insurance and pharmaceutical corporations.
