Kennedy Statement on Flawed Medicare Drug Law

KENNEDY STATEMENT ON FLAWED MEDICARE DRUG LAW

"It's no surprise that President Bush can only preach to a hand-picked choir about a fatally flawed Medicare drug law. The truth is that his plan includes billions in subsidies for HMOs and big drug companies at the expense of the Medicare program that seniors know and trust, bars Medicare from negotiating discounts on drug prices for seniors, and puts a ban on importing cheaper medicines from Canada and other industrialized nations."
