(7,572 posts)usually has been "marked up" in numerous Congressional committees after extensive hearings. It seems to me that when a Democratic administration is attacked on a Democratic website over something that they haven't proposed to Congress, something that requires the consent of a Democratic controlled-60% needed- Senate, the Democratic party and what it stands for is losing.
The negotiating of drug prices is a perfect example of changes proposed by the Democratic administration that died in the Congress. In the ACA, it was given up in negotiations with the drug companies. The ACA does require the drug companies to provide a 50% discount to medicare recipients in the doughnut hole. No one failed to look at it before they signed it, when you "negotiate", you don't get everything you want.
