It's Official - Reconciliation It Is

There's more than enough blame to go around before and after any bill, but BigPharm has to have the kind of clout that tobacco once had and is to me the 800 lb Gorilla. The insurance companies might be anywhere form a 250 lb to 750 lb Gorilla, but they can't catch up to BigPharm for the biggest slice of the pie.

that's where I am, personally - but I don't have data or arguments or facts to really back it up so I am hesitant to advance an argument

but I find it personally disgusting the nature to which that industry is so insulated, so protected

I read an article a while back that examined, briefly, the crisis that BigPharm is facing in terms of new drugs being improved, patents being granted, etc and that they are doing what they can to protect their industry and protect their investors. I don't know if the relative shelter they are enjoying wrt this bill is part of that or not.

But I am biased and very very suspicious of them and their causes and practices.
