Is allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices for seniors really that easy? How many politicians in the House and Senate are beholden to Big Pharma? It's such a huge, powerful industry. They kneecapped Clinton's health care overhaul, they blocked single payer and they've blocked allowing Medicare to negotiated drug prices for decades. With only 50 Dems (and Corey Booker in the pocket of Big Pharma to name one I'm familiar with), won't it still be hard?
It’s easy if you didn’t give a crap who you upset. Most of the liberal groups have to worry about not offending the senators, less they need the next time on the next issue. An independent campaign doesn’t have that problem. The very fact that everyone who hears about this issue thinks it’s absurd, means a very public campaign on this would destroy any member refusing to fix it. They’re basically putting a tax on Medicare to give big pharma extra money just for fun.
