I hope this is not true.
But is may well be.
The President promised that all discussions would be transparant. Like on C-SPAN.

Making a deal with "Big Pharma' is unethical and dishonest.

No surprise here. Irregardless of what is legislated, Pharmaceuticals know SOMETHING is on the horizon to impact their profits. They (and the insurance companies) have got to be scrambling. And the White House is just extending Chicago politics to the federal arena. Again, no surprise.

Interesting article, herring. Thanks for sharing it. I had not heard the Nader interview. Wonder if he knows what he's talking about??
