After a week of lying and covering up his tracks, a leaked internal White House memo shows that Barack Obama did indeed go behind the backs of Americans to carve out a deal with the big pharmaceutical companies.
This is the same Obama who promised during his campaign to use the power of the government to drive down the costs of drugs to Medicare recipients. According to the memo, Obama agreed to protect the pharmaceutical companies from Congressional efforts to bargain for lower prices for drugs or to import lower priced drugs from Canada. Please read that last sentence again and let it sink in.
In return, the big drug companies agreed to cut $80 billion in projected costs to taxpayers and Medicare recipients over the next 10 years. That’s $10 billion per year that the big drug companies don’t mind coughing up because they stand to make hundreds of billions more per year from the outrageously high prices of drugs.
When are our people going to wake up. Especially, our people.
I guess when we’re back in the cotton fields. Even then I suspect there will be those kool-aid drinkers who’ll say, “he’s just doin’ this to fool YT”.
what i got out of this is, instead of people going to other countries for medicine hes demanding the us companies cut cost so they WONT have too

@Charles
considering the source, I will ignore your comment. Isn’t it time for you to get kicked off again?!?1
To the rest of the SR readers, my comments as of late haven’t been the best grammatically because I blog from work and things have been hectic. That said, my worst comment is better than Charles’.

Charles, I’m not playin’ yo stupid games. You haven’t been right about a damn thang yet, homeboy.
And, I know why you said … but, guess I don’t give a damn.
I guess Charles, educated people like you don’t have to work.
Now, I’m embarrassed that I bought into your craziness.
