That still is not going to do anything about the Epi Pen that we are
talking about. The people and insurance companies paying $300-600 for
these are generally not on medicaid or medicare. S.2023 is just to cut
the government's exposure for the most part.
Also why do you think it is only republicans who are blocking this?
Hillary alone has taken over $20 million from "big medicine" and it is
still August. The idea that most democrats are going to shut down
their gravy train is ridiculous. Notice the only co-sponsor along with
Sanders was Franken. Most democrats are not Sanders and Franken. You
only had to watch the DNC convention and the roadblocks they threw in
front of Sanders in the primaries to see that.


No it isn't, because the Bill, because of the current GOP control of
Congress, isn't going anywhere. That's the same reason Social Security
why Medicare isn't able to negotiate drug prices, because of the GOP
control of Congress. That impediment has to be removed.

Also the Bill provides remedies to get around the raping of the public
being perpetrated by the drug manufacturers.


You still have not said why this is only the republicans.
When the democrats were ramming their health plan through the all
democrat congress, why wasn't drug reform part of it?
Could it possibly be that the democrats are bought by the people you
are blaming?

Your Republican Libertarians have nothing that will help...they're
against regulation.

Bear in mind, the abusive patent protection laws that make all of this
possible are "regulation" too.
Most of this is simply abuse of the patent law. It tends to reward the
person with the best lawyer, not the inventor.
