Thx, Gordon. That's what I thought. No one has seen anything yet. And Bush and Frist are "approving it" with "enthusiasm." That means, I'm afraid, that the "details" will suck for the people. In true Bush fas/hion/cism. lb

Re: some others generally agree that generics will be promoted not banned "Some others" are con artists. Read the fine print in the bill and you'll find that it specifically prohibits the government from seeking to negotiate lower drug prices with big Pharma. This bill is a Trojan Horse. It's a travesty. It's intent is to end medicare as we know it. The real shocker was the announcement today that AARP was endorsing the bill. I'd love to see the bribes that got paid to produce that counter-intuitive result.
