Democrats on Republican Drug Plan

Democrats fought against this Medicare sham at the time, and now they are offering three important solutions that could be implemented NOW: 1) Extend enrollment by six months to allow America's seniors to make sense of the confusing options before they have to select the option that works best for them, 2) Allow re-importation of safe FDA approved drugs from Canada, which should bring down the costs of drugs in this country, and 3) Allow Medicare to bargain for lower prices on behalf of all Americans. It is particularly offensive that this Republican drug-company written Medicare prescription drug law actually prohibits the government from negotiating with those companies for lower prices
