There had to be something in the ACA for "Big Pharma", just like there is for the insurance industry. If there hadn't been, no health care reform legislation could have passed. I mean, it damn near didn't happen as it was!

Considering the last three Repubs who sat in the Oval office, I would say it makes a huge difference. You're not pining for Gee Dubya, are ya?

Obie did that all by himself. Right after he was elected on an open government open drug pricing platform.

It makes a big difference.

The Republicans love sucking big corporate dick.

The Democrats only do it out of necessity.

And by the way Pete, I've already warned you about trying that false equivalency crap with me. A word to the wise should have been sufficient.

So they'd have one believe.

Obama proved he was absolutely FOS. It's a real equivalency, not a false one.

The Dems in Congress are wealthier than the GOP per capita. Therefore that would be self-pleasure.

Absolutely FOS? How?

Because the incessant yammering in the rightwing echo chamber about keeping a substandard plan?

It is not only Big Pharma there are only about 4 or 5 drug wholesalers in the country making it very easy to rig prices. Let's hear it for the middlemen.

Pete, the next coming can do no wrong. Listen to all the excuses. The truth is it's politics. Sometimes you gotta do things to get your way that go against your parties thinking. It's not like you took that article from a republican rag it was the huff post for Pete's sake.

Give me the names of the Republicans that have stood up for the ordinary schmucks against the big corporations Pete.

Even if it's just empty rhetoric.

Give me a list.

Give me the names of the Republicans that I can vote for because they will stand up for the little guy.

Hell, I'll bet you can't even site one example.

They are all big corporate whores Pete.

Every last one of them.
