Barbara, I think all governments should kick out the lobbyist for the pharmacy, insurance, and medical fields. Lobbying in government should be crime punishible by the most highest degree! Did you see where the lobbyist were able to get a bill thu where Medicare does NOT require pharmacy co. to bid on medicines? The VA requires it but NOT Medicare. Quess who was behind that bill! While we may have a good government system in theory, the greed has multiplied all thru the years and the common tax payer, not the millionairs nor billionairs, foot the tax money for all the greed in Washington and each and every state!
My two cents for today on this.
