How will the drug companies
How will the drug companies make the money back in losses?.
Obama giving the money back?....
Have we heard anything about Obama giving the money back? Have we heard anyone suggest that Obama is the reason drug prices are high? Have we heard about how he must be in bed with them and that he is responsible for the problems of the middle class and working poor who just want reasonably priced medication? No we have not and we likely never will. Political donations from big business are only evil when they go to Republicans. Democrats accept the money to do God’s work.It's a reform that will make prescription drugs more affordable for millions of seniors and restore a measure of fairness. Its a help to people's financial crisis if the drug price will be discounted 50 % of the the price.
