Medicaid programs and medicare consumers who must pay a 20% being grossly over-charged while the drug companies increase market share and reap huge profits.

The break for me was the Medicare drug benefit in 2003. It's just grossly expensive, bad policy. After that, I no longer gave them the benefit of the doubt and started seeing the glass as half-empty.

This is what happens when you privatize Medicare. The Medicare prescription drug benefit is a massive giveaway to pharmaceutical companies, creating disastrous health effects for the nation's poor and elderly citizens.

Large pharmaceutical companies have grossly bid up valuations.

The market had become grossly oversold by last Thursday, so that had to be worked out. And it looks like cold (at least seasonable readings) are going to continue, at least through next weekend.

If Medicare could negotiate directly with drug companies it could save the federal and state governments hundred of billions of dollars and cut insurance premiums.
