The Story Nobody Would Tell;

This is the Story nobody would tell. Part of Obama's normal stump speech was to Attack Big Pharma. He attacked them regularly and described how their Greed needed to be brought under control. He promised that Americans would be able to buy their Prescription Drugs in Canada - or wherever they could find them cheaper.

That all went away - and no one mentioned a Peep about it. It was like it Never happened.

This article appears from the Mist.

Once the Drug Companies and AMA got in bed with Obama - you never hear anything bad about them in Political debates or in the News.

Suddenly, they are the Good Guys.

...The insurance expansion is funded partly by more than $100 billion in taxes and discounts on products the drug industry offered to the White House. In return, the newly insured will be able to buy the drugmakers’ pills using their new coverage.




I'm not sure what can be exposed. The story has always been the drug companies discount costs in return for higher volume.

If the true story differs from that one, I'd sure like to know about it.

Here's the story, Owebama jumped in bed with those Ugly, Hated Corporate wolves when the price was right.

His whole campaign - for 18 months - was to stand up to the Barons and simply do what's right for the American People. The ones that can't couldn't get surgery for Johnny or get gas to get to a job interview. For those Poor Senior Citizens that have to decide between Rent and their Medicine.

The old and sick can't buy those drugs from Canada or any other foreign country now, can they? They are forced into Big (Corporate) Pharma with not a single option that was promised during his campaign.

That (Huge) Promise was shattered and no one speaks of it.

Not only did Obama remove the ability to Buy Prescription Drugs from other developed Countries (e.g., Canada) from the Health Care legislation, but he twisted arms in Congress to prevent a bill from passing that would have allowed just that.

How can someone have such a reversal on one of their Campaign tenets? It was easy for Old people to understand that cheaper meds from Canada would do wonders for their budget.

Well, Well, ... Classic Obama


Threats, deals got drug companies on board with Obama


Top administration officials cut backroom deals with the nation’s top drug companies to win support for President Obama’s health care overhaul, threatening them with steeper taxes if they resisted and promising a better financial deal for the industry if they acquiesced, according to internal documents released Thursday by House Republicans.

In some of the key deals, Mr. Obama agreed to drop his long-standing support for letting Americans buy cheaper foreign prescription drugs — something the pharmaceutical industry vehemently opposed — and the drugmakers promised to mount a public campaign to sell the public on the health care legislation.

Here's that Campaign Promise of letting the Old and Poor buy their drugs cheaper from other Countries, like Canada.

All Campaign Promises were up for Sale, to the highest bidder.

I went 7 pages back for the "Healthcare" thread to post on this topic and had already posted here once before. That leaves me looking a little foolish!

On of his other tenets was openness and transparency. How fast did he drop that &*(%?
