Only the private sector can help, but then the socialists cannot control a necessity that we all need. It has not worked in one country yet and never will. One only needs to speeck to private M.D.s in Canada to realize that their system has failed. As a Canadian M.D., practicing in the U.S., it is really sad how the media and politicians have entrapped the people. There is no way that the socialists can improve on our present medical system.

The decisions of both groups are driven by money but the drug companies have more money and more IQ. End result. No real lowering of drug prices for seniors. Count on it.

Luna Thu, 04 Jan 2007 18:56:58 +0000 http://www.john-goodman-blog.com/medicare-drug-prices/#comment-921 I firmly believe that if the Federal government got out of people's business this Nation would survive Just Fine. They have their noses in our bathrooms, bedrooms and under our carpets. I am against anything the Feds do! We cannot trust Congress, The Senate nor the president, If the truly Americans do not get it together, we will be in a mess bigger that the one we are in now. Greed!

They have their noses in our bathrooms, bedrooms and
under our carpets.
I am against anything the Feds do!
We cannot trust Congress, The Senate nor the president,
If the truly Americans do not get it together, we will be
in a mess bigger that the one we are in now.
Greed!

The Liberal lack of logic is beyond any additional energy I can spend trying to figure out Liberal "logic"! Appreciate all your efforts!

What is the source of that figure?
