IMPORTANT.... From Howard Dean

48. All the Washington politicians are in the pockets of ins. and pharma. Incl. Obama.

I loved Obama and voted for him twice. But have you ever wondered why that awful, harmful provision in Medicare Part D (the one that prohibits the fed govt from negotiating with Big Pharma on drug prices for Medicare)...why it was never removed, despite Obama in the W.H. and the Dems controlling Congress?

Obama even campaigned on removing that provision. Then he never mentioned it again.

They are ALL beholden to ins. cos. & Big Pharma. Democratic & Republican alike.

The ins. cos. even wrote large sections of the ACA. Who else would? The staffers aren't ins. experts.

Hillary isn't against single payer, is my understanding. She just thinks it's not going to pass so it's pointless to focus on that instead of something that has a chance of passing and improving what we have. I don't agree with that, but I can see that side of things, and it's not the same thing as being against it.
