Last week, after being reported in the Los Angeles Times, the White House confirmed it has promised Big Pharma that any healthcare legislation will bar the government from using its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices. That's basically the same deal George W. Bush struck in getting the Medicare drug benefit, and it's proven a bonanza for the drug industry.

Maybe a proven bonanza for the drug companies, but Medicare Part D has consistently coming in MASSIVELY under budget and is functioning better than anyone projected. What they don't tell you.
