Congress Blocks move to set retail drug discounts.

Pressure by the White House and drug industry lobbyists, Congress has killed a Senate -passed provision that would have forced pharmaceutical manufacturers to grant the Department of Defense deep discounts on drugs dispensed through the TRICARE retail pharmacy network.

House Republicans were under enormous pressure last month to sideline a provision inserted in the 2007 defense authorization bill that would cut 40 percent or more off the cost of many drugs available to TRICARE beneficiaries through retail network pharmacies and stores.


Military dot com is one of the right wing sites there is.

1. Yes, but those of us Military, Dependents and Retirees are paying
over twice the original co-payments so that that CERTAIN of the Republican's precious Drug Companies get *full profits.* For some of us over-forty somethings that increase in Tri-Care co-payments is a significant Chunk Of Change. :grr:

Remember, the Republicans serve the ultra-wealthy investor class and the bloated Drug and Oil corporations BEFORE The Military or Their Constituents. Think of the forgoing truism before you vote! :thumbsdown:

In Our Brave New BushWorld ---> The Ultra-Wealthy Rule! :puke:

3. The Republican leadership think as highly of the military
as Rove does of the evangelicals, they are just props for election purposes. Their real daddies are the corporations that line their pockets while pillaging the American People.
