Electoral Rx
Pharmaceutical & Drug companies hold our fate in their hands.
The Wall St Journal reports that pharmaceutical corporations are panicking as Nancy Pelosi says if she takes over as Senate Majority leader, one of the first things she will do, is have Medicare negotiate with the drug companies for discounts.
The Veterans Association bargains and pays $120 a person a year for High Blood Pressure medication, yet that same medication costs Medicare $1000 per person a year. That pure profit goes straight to each company and rich investors.
These companies are funding all the Republicans that are in close races. Rick Santorum created those favorable rules for them, so his campaign has been given $500,000 plus more for TV ads. 7 others like Oren Hatch and Joe Lieberman are getting from $370k to $170k. These corporations know who will look after them
