(2,163 posts)It would seem that what the President is complaining about more is rising cost in health care not medicare.
I'm a simple man that gets up and goes to work everyday.
I didn't attend college as most of you.
Wouldn't the President be on track more if he used his efforts and power in office to attack the rising cost in health care?
He said plainly when running in the primary the Medicare part d plan of prescriptions drugs was a travesty
on seniors in this country. That it would be one of the first things he would change as President.
He would make sure the government could look at bids and negotiate prices for medicare.
But in the Affordable care Act he pretty much sided with pharmaceutical companies like Bush did.
Why does he say one thing when running but when in office do another?
