We want 100% free coverage for little to nothing in premium payments.
We want our drugs covered 100% as well.

But isn't that a good thing? Since government pays 100 percent of the drug costs and if I work for a drug company wont that mean when the drug price rises and government will pay that will secure my job since my company will be making record profits.
Why are drug costs increasing when technology makes prices lower in the private sector? Can't be government can it? The very same ones who now run our healthcare?
