In Canada we buy an insurance policy from the insurance company and if we need meds, we go to the pharmacy and give our card and the insurance company covers the cost. How does it work in the U.S?

Front door Medicare can't, by law, negotiate drug prices (likeVA) Kaiser Group Poll, If only Americans agreed! 'To reduce the cost of prescription drugs, should..? Medicare be allowed to directly negotiate with drug companies to get lower prices on prescription drugs' Agree 82%

The politicians are paid off by these drug companies and it's about time somebody spoke up !! If Obama gave a rat's ass the first step to Obamacare would've been to renegotiate (in our favor not the drug co's) the prices of drugs !!

Please, get some independent people to study, evaluate and opine on this proposal.....this administration is the least competent in certainly the past many decades, so more likely than not proposal is a complete cocked-up bit of bollicks. Hearings or something.....

About time someone is doing something about this. When big Pharma helped write Obamacare they shielded themselves from this and their huge profits.
