NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) - The Pharmaceutical Research
and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the leading industry
lobby group, and two other organizations on Wednesday said
they were suing the U.S. government to block enforcement
of a program that gives Medicare the power to negotiate
drug prices.

Sorry, but gross past abuses mean this HAS to
be done.
BigPharmaUSA has RIPPED OFF everybody for decades
and it HAS to end, indeed be substantially reversed.
Normally govt intervention in the Free Market is a
bad idea - but in THIS case .......
Thing is there IS NO "free market" here, BigPharmaUSA
has RIGGED the system. It's all tilted to forever
increase profits no matter what the cost to citizens
or insurers.
And hey, the US Govt should start its OWN pharma
research/manufacturing dept. Again sorry, but it's
become THAT bad.
Capitalism is Great - but not for Everything Always.
In THIS case we all can easily see the problem -
and NEED for an exception.
Ya got WAY too greedy - WAY too controlling. It has
to END.
