So we are about to have net neutrality repealed over the objection of everyone except ISPs basically. Medicare isn't even allowed to negotiate drug prices, but our govt run single payer system will definitely be immune from regulatory capture. Right?
- maxerickson 9y agoThe drug price thing is overblown. The private companies that administer Medicare Part D are free to negotiate prices and do so. http://www.kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/searching-for-savings-in-medicare-drug-price-negotiations/ http://www.kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/searching-for-saving... At the bottom it mentions saving billions of dollars by extending a Medicaid program to some Medicare drugs, but that is not negotiated, those discounts are required by law.
