More Insane Profits For The Drug Companies Thanks To OUR Government!
April 7th, 2007In another blow towards the working class this time targeting our most vulnerable citizens, senior citizens, the Bush administration has told the State of Wisconsin they must shut down their highly successful SeniorCare program. This plan has been running since 2002 but this week the US Government has rejected the state’s request to extend the program effectively costing you and I billions more each year in inflated payments to drug companies and costing those that can least afford it, our senior citizens, more money in copays.
Once again OUR government has sided with big business and the Washington lobbyists that have made negotiating drug prices one step above a crime. Because of their greed and the greenbacks the lobbyists have stuffed into their ‘war chests’ we will now see a highly successful medical plan flushed down the toilet. Who wins here? Only the drug companies and the greedy bastards in Washington that most certainly are getting kickbacks, high paying positions and campaign money. Who loses? Anyone that pays taxes but at the very heart of it all are those on fixed incomes, our parents, grandparents and great grandparents!
