Faint Progress on Drug Payoffs

Legislation that would end a devious tactic used by some pharmaceutical companies to delay the introduction of cheaper generic drugs squeaked by a Senate panel recently. Its prospects for ultimate passage remain cloudy unless Senate Democratic leaders aggressively seize the opportunity to save billions of dollars for the federal budget and hard-pressed consumers.

Affordable medicine is an important aspect of health care reform. Lets see what the Dems do with it.

Dems won't do jack with it. They are all afraid of their own shadow. And after the elections, the Republicans will have the House, and we'll have gridlock.

Neither of them will do jack - politicians are bought and paid for by these companies. That this got by at all is a miracle. OH and a good one at that.
The reform that was needed was right here - manufacturers, equipment suppliers and pharmaceutical companies.
