Video - PBS Bill Moyers Essay, The

A look back in the wake of yesterday's SCOTUS decision.

Who is actually writing the healthcare reform bill? Lobbyists for Big Pharma and the insurance industry, of

course. The last time we saw massive healthcare legislation on Capitol Hill, it was for Medicare Part D, the prescription drug benefit.

As a result of this legislation and the work of former Congressman Billy Tauzin, Medicare is not allowed to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. David Walker

called it the single most fiscally irresponsible bill in the last 50 years.

Comment by Chip on June 29, 2012 at 8:43pm: That's just one example. How about this, the gov can't run the government. Vincent, they will be good at covering up any and all wrong doings they will cause. They haven't even put out a budget. We budget, do you budget? The gov evidently does not. How about this, they can't be trusted with finances. They are spending money they don't have.They can't even give away money in an effective manner. I guess lastly, If i were to give you a reason not to trust our health care system to the gov, (the gov can’t run the health care program it currently has). These jokers would rather cut parts of it that work, rather than prosecute the scumbags who are robbing our tax money. I don't want to trust these jokers to provide me with anything I would be dependent on. Would you?
