Yeah Pio I have family in just about every Province and I don't hear any of this 'sky is falling' cry from them. Possessing a rather unique surname I have found that there are something just over forty households of that name up there and genealogical research has shown that the ones who are not direct family are descendants of a four times Great Uncle who emigrated there from England.

With some doctors those free samples work to their patients benefit, when prescribing a certain drug he/she hands out what is sometimes the first 90 days supply for free.

You could not possibly emulate Single Payer here there is just too much greed in this Jack System here. Ask Speaker Ryan that blind disciple of that Russian whore Ayn Rand.

Even a lefty like Bezos knows a good deal when he sees one:

For the last few years, Amazon has held at least one annual meeting at its Seattle headquarters to discuss whether it should enter the pharmacy business, says two people familiar with the company's plans.

But this year, with the rise of high-deductible plans and the trend toward consumers paying for health care, it is ready to get more serious.


Pharma costs are a HUGE opportunity within health care to manage costs.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday he does not know how Senate Republicans are going to get enough votes to pass an ObamaCare replacement bill.

"I don't know how we get to 50 [votes] at the moment. But that's the goal,” McConnell told Reuters in an interview.

"Senate Republicans hope to be able to vote on a bill before the August recess."

It's going to take them all summer? I thought these turds had the world by the tail with der Gropenfuhrer in the WH.

Short memory. How long did it take the PPACA to pass with a Democrat controlled House, Senate and Oval Office? Inauguration 1/2009. PPACA signed into law March 2010.

Yer party has been at it for seven or eight years now with 60+ attempts at repeal & replace. So, where's the plan?

So, I guess you're conceding that the GOP's sixty previous repeal efforts were all a charade.
