Who Can Explain This Obama/Pharma Deal To Me?
Here's the memo obtained by Huffington Post describing the White House deal with the drug companies.
White House Memo
Can anyone explain to me what happens to a family with a serious illness now paying $5,000 PER MONTH for drugs, which are mostly covered by private insurance. The patient loses the private insurance because the illness forces the person to leave the job.
The insurance companies will reduce the drug fees by half. Leaving for this family, $2,500 per month for drugs to stay alive. Add new premium through public option or co-op or something, plus hospital bills, doctors bills, tests, etc.
The family loses everything, and still can't get the drugs. Right? Am I missing something, or has Obama sold out thousands of seriously sick people with this deal.
