You know that program with the doughnut hole that takes cash directly out of the pocket of seniors and puts it in the already bulging bank accounts of the eleven largest pharmaceutical companies?
The 11 largest drug companies have made $711 billion in profits in just a decade, largely due to overcharging Medicare, which does not seek out competitive prices and uses taxpayer funds to support Big Pharma.
Well isn't that special? In ten years the trickle up of Reganomics netted a hefty $711,000,000,000. That is an excellent return on those lobbying dollars.
I found this was put out by Health Care for America Now (HCAN)
Health Care for America Now (HCAN) is a national coalition of more than 1,000 groups in 50 states representing 30 million people. We work to promote, defend, implement and improve the Affordable Care Act (ACA) at the state and federal levels, protect Medicare and Medicaid, increase corporate accountability and confront forces that seek to take away critical services. We believe in creating jobs, not cutting programs people depend on.
As they are continuing the effort to correct the capitalist based medical system we have now that is causing the unnecessary suffering of so many. I'm sure they will be a good resource.
