Kudos to Sen. Leahy for this bill!
Again, is it not the job of the consumer and the free market to keep this kind of under-handedness from occuring? The government can’t even keep their own house clean.
The free market had 50yrs to keep this under controll and it failed. Time to remove their exemtions.
End price-fixing:
Passing health care reform with an effective public option is one key way to promote competition in the health insurance marketplace, but we must also eliminate this unjustified and unnecessary antitrust exemption currently enjoyed by insurance giants. Force health insurance companies to compete fairly like virtually every other business in America.
All suppliers of drugs to government-run health programs should have to bid for those contracts.
All drugs sold to or purchased from outside of USA, should be made available to USA citizens at the price the citizens of the world pays.
