If it's a "non-tranparent back door deal", how come everybody knew, and commented, about it?

:lol2: Merc, go back and read what you wrote.
As I said, if pharma opposed the bill they have to power to kill it. The white house lining up support, from as many corners as possible, is crucial in a battle against the health insurers, but nothing they promise pharma to support is carved in stone. Remember the executive branch only pushes ideas, congress writes and passes laws. With the health insurers against it, and with half the republicans acting like soccer hooligans, makes it a tough row to hoe. |

I'm disgusted at the fact that Obama doesn't say, "This health care reform will happen and it will have a public option whether Republicans like it or not."
and the fact that he has made a deal with the pharmaceutical companies not to negotiate lower prices for drugs or import drugs from Canada. The whole point is to lower costs and use greater buying power as a way to do it. I know someone with lung cancer and his meds are over 15 thousand dollars a month. That's insane. The drugs do not cost a hundred thousandth of that to produce. I see putting drugs that can save lives out of the price range of people as an affront to humanity and a disgusting display of profiteering on the human suffering. |

That said, their bottom lines are enormous, even after the fortunes they spend on bribing... uh, I mean educating, doctors and politicians. |

No, he's not selling a lie, he's trying to get this done. But the fact remains it's congress that has to do the job.
And there's a bunch in congress that were there long before Obama came on the political scene, and will be there long after he's gone. They keep getting reelected for what they can do for the homeboys. |
