(1,370 posts)There is absolutely no excuse for not using the public forum to accentuate the obscene drug mark-ups that are part of the reason health care costs in this country are still so high. Then make the negotiations public along with opening the doors to cheaper Canadian and other foreign manufactures..That's how you change a corrupt system.
But Obama's interest was obviously directed at protecting the drug corporations profits... His actions made it beyond obvious.
This is how a gullible naive public plays a roll in the corrupt system.. Buying into 12 dimensional chess, the Republicans made him do it, etc.. Or when it comes to pushing corporate wet dreams the Executive Branch seems to carry a big stick but when it comes to protecting the interests of the poor and middle class, Obama's just one man against big bad corporations... Go back to work/sleep everyone, he's doing all that he can do..
