Bush: "This plan will cut your drug plan by half." Can't even lie right!
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 02:52 PM by flpoljunkie
"This plan will cut your drug plan by half. You need to look at it. You need to look at what's available," Bush said.

What his drug plan is an incredible giveaway to the pharmceutical companies and we, the taxpayers will be paying the tab.

Below is a link which lays out and dispels the lies Dubya is peddling about his new Medicare prescription benefit. Seniors Beware! Many seniors will be worse off--and that includes those now on Medicaid and those who have their own drug plans through their former employers.

3. No lie--you'll only be able afford half the drugs you need under his plan.
They'll end up costing twice as much.

4. The Medicare "drug plan" has got to be the biggest boondoggle
to date. For starters, it's so complicated you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out if you qualify. Why can't they just say if you have a Medicare card you get "X" number of bucks off your Rx???? Bottom line . . . if you can get drugs north of the border they're a hell of a lot cheaper and all it takes is a credit card.

5. Bush lovers must believe they have immunity
Wonder what they'll do when the negative effects
of the policies they now so vehemently support
begin to trickle down to their personal space?
