Did the idiot back up one thing he said? Nooo. He writes for “the street”. Talk about biased. He states that the gov has no track record in this arena. Has the moron ever heard of the VA? For as messed up the VA can be, it’s drug benefit is excellent. This dip$hit couldn’t research his way out of a paper box.

I think it MUST happen. There simply isn’t enough money to meet the demand for pharmaceuticals. Think back to when you got paid “usual and customary” charges instead of RBRVS. Why did things change? Government involvement in drug coverage is the beginning of the end for big pharma.
