Despite the much publicized 10-year, $80 billion cost-saving promise the drug industry made to President Obama and the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee last month, some House leaders do not think the drug makers have given enough. And Mr. Obama seemed to agree Wednesday night in a nationally televised news conference focused on health care reform. He praised the pharmaceutical industry for making a hard commitment, but added, “We might be able to get $100 billion out of them, or more.” Mr. Obama offered no specific plans to increase the companies’ contributions to health care savings. Great idea. Soak 'em good. Those drug companies, creating life-saving medications, need to be made to think twice before spending money on R&D.
