Subject: RE: BS: MedicaidGate...
Well, thankee Old Guy, fir the chart but that's just the tip of the iceburg...

The pharmeacudical companies funnel tens of millionms thru 501(c)'s that go purdy much 100% to attack ads against Dems and pro_Repub ads...

This is totally unregulated soft money... And it's the big bucks...

That, leftydee, has a lot to do with why we don't have national health care in the uS... Every policy in the uS is "For Sale" and the health industry is making the big bucks right now and they like things just the way there are...

Lobbiest for the drug companies wrote most of the Medicaid perscription program that the Repubs voted in... Heck, there was one Repub. Congressman, I forget his name now but can find it out if called to do so, who wa strongarmed by the Repubs in the House and threatened that if he didn't vote for the package that the would work against his son, who was running for something at the time...

This was a bad pice of legislation and now it's looking wevn worse...

Welcome to Boss Hog's America where policy goes to the highest bidder...
