Now Seniors Have to Pay More for their Prescription Drugs?

By , About.com GuideJune 21, 2006

Follow me on:

According to a study by Families USA, prescription drug prices increased right about the time the Medicare prescription drug legislation was introduced.

How could this happen? Wasn't the prescription drug legislation supposed to save seniors money? Many are asking these questions and why the legislation prohibits Medicare from negotiating prices with the pharmaceutical companies like the Veterans Affairs has been able to do with great results.

Unfortunately, this legislation is not doing what is was supposed to do for senior's health care needs. What do you think would happen if Congress got involved with all of America's health care needs by using a Universal Health Care System?

I don’t care what name people put on it, socialism or communism for all I care, just get citizens healthcare NOW!
Bush wanted a war, he got it now…not 5 or 7 years later. By the time everyone talks this to death, thousands of our nations citizens will, at the very least, have gotten sicker, many more will have died. Stop the BS’ing and get it done!
