Racist not to cover BiDil?

BiDil is the CHF medication aimed at African Americans. It is simply a repackaging of two generic medications. The NAACP is accusing the CMS of racism by not covering this medication.

At least cover the 2 components. I certainly understand why patients would want only one co-pay, though.

So should I get the “one co-pay” break because I need Prilosec and ranitidine to control my GERD?

If the answer is “no” do I get to yell “racist!”?

Does the NAACP do anything but call everyone not a member racist? There a group that lost’s it’s way.
