Big Pharma is the apparent big winner in the bill. Will there be unintended consequences? - seniors wield outsized voting power because they actually vote. - seniors find out that prescription drug costs aren't really going down plus they find out that Big Pharma is cutting supplies to Canadian pharmacies. They then realize that the US taxpayers/consumers are subsidizing Big Pharma profits and foreign drug consumers. - seniors find out that Medicare is headed toward privitization and that they will be shunted into HMOs which will promptly drop them from their service. - seniors blame congress and admin during the 2004 elections.
