And now to write the real Prescription Drug Bill

WaPo:

Private health insurance plans began lobbying Congress today for major changes in the Medicare drug legislation passed just three days ago.

Without increased subsidies and more stability, they said, few private plans will enter the Medicare market, and the legislation will not work as intended.


The first step toward privatization is more subsidies ... Makes sense if the goal of privatization is to loot the Treasury, but not in many other ways. Well, looting is what the Rethuglicans are best at, after lying!
