Yeah right, this is exactly what town hall protesters and Republicans wanted. Nice try, the Dems own this pig.

No, fill me in.

BTW, no need to worry. Your health insurance company will gladly pay for those expensive medications, right?

Yes they will for an expensive co pay. I will opt for generics.

Nope, the price of drugs is determined by a Capitalistic model of healthcare. If you wanted Obama to control the price of your drugs, you would need a Socialistic model of healthcare.

Now, which form of healthcare were the Republicans fighting for?

This was pretty well known. It is shocking that posters who regularly comment on health care issues don't understand the basics.

Wrong, the price of drugs is a deal made with the Obama administration.

I wish, no drugs are reimbursed in a number of ways. Medicaid, in general, dictates what it will pay for a given drug based on a formula. Medicare (through Medicare part D PDPs) negotiates pricing very aggressively with drug companies and is required to pay for 2 drugs in each therapuetic category resulting in very keen competition between manufacutrers. You clearly do no understand pharmacoeconomics, it is hardly a cpaitalistic system. Drug prices are very much controlled.
