2. Same as the Rethugs' - "Don't get sick";
funny how many platforms the DLC and the Publicans have in common.

14. Force BIG PHARMA to lower their prices of patented drugs with no generic competition.
Force BIG PHARMA to lower their prices of patented drugs with no generic competition.

Today I announce an effort to force Pharma to lower the prices of patented drugs that have no generic competition. Call your local Eckerd, CVS, and Walgreens pharmacy and tell them that unless they lower their patented drugs to a DOLLAR a pill you will not buy any consumer products or any prescription drugs from them. Then go buy elsewhere from now on..

For those who remain stuck with one of the 3 pharmacies, still call them and tell them the above but get your medication at the pharmacy you remain stuck with but do not buy any consumer items there. Buy your consumer items elsewhere from now on. Make the phone calls because they will wake up these pharmacies and tell them that the middle class will not put up with patented medication that costs 60 dollars or more a month. We will force it down to 30 dollars a month.

17. Is this serious, or a send-up of "moderate" band-aids and quarter-measures?
'cause it gets the overall tenor of such proposals just right.

8. A list of articles is hardly a platform
Where do they stand on funding for health care, we all know its available.

5. None of the candidates want to get rid of the health insurance industry
Dennis comes the closest but it is such a powerful entrenched industry .....good luck.

Edited on Mon Jun-18-07 11:27 PM by IChing

16. HOW MANY DUers HAVE DIED OVER THE YEARS?
because of the inadequate system that we have?

The sicko factor is not just a movie.

15. Until the people mean as much as the health insurance does
to elected officials, you'll only get the republican or DLC versions of healthcare. Which means if you want to live in a society where people come first, this ain't it.
