Vote NO on issue 2 in Ohio...it is written by rich ass pharmacy guy to swindle people.

[Demsrule86]

8. It is a poorly written and designed bill written by a California guy...who runs an

aids foundation and uses said foundations to buy drugs and resell them at higher prices.


"The opposition campaign, Ohioans Against the Deceptive Rx Ballot Issue, lists more than 80 organizations that are partnering to defeat the measure. They include veterans groups, mental health agencies, the Ohio State Medical Association, Ohio Pharmacists Association and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

All of the funding for the opposition campaign comes from major drug manufacturers through the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, a drug industry trade group.

PhRMA has donated more than $15 million to the No campaign.

The opposition message is that the ballot issue will raise rather than lower drug prices, including for veterans, while reducing patient access to needed medicines. They also say the measure would be nearly impossible to implement and will lead to lawsuits and bureaucratic red tape.

The group also argues that this initiative leaves out the seven million Ohioans, 64 percent of the state, who get private insurance and, according to the group, could see their prices go up."

Pharma is against it mostly because there is no implementation and it will cost the tax payers who have to pay legal bills for this mess...for any litigation. It is a bad bill and there is no way to even know how much the VA pays.
