Let'em Pay More for Drugs!
Sadly, the Democrats decided to scorch the Earth ahead of the prescription drug bill. As a result, the elderly (indigent if the tone of the debate reflects truly) will pay more. Nor because of the bill but because of the Democrats' desparate clinging to the issue.
With only a quarter of the projected benficiary's signing-up, I am sure the Administration counted on the various elderly advocacy groups helping.
Unfortunately, the Adminstration clearly miscalculated the advocates concerns for their "constituents" versus their own self-interest.
The only bill that would have garnered support was an unmitigated free ride.
