supposed to be negotiating with medicare. except why don't we negotiate like we did for the v.a., like other countries do? well, we don't negotiate because there's a provision in law that says that the government is not allowed to negotiate on behalf of 41 million seniors with the drug companies. they're just set. guess what that means? that's a big part of the reason why our drug prices are double the cost of those in canada. because we're just taking it and we're not negotiating it. another idea, bringing up canada, senator mccain and i have a bill that would allow less expensive drugs to be sold in the united states. to me that's a way of putting pressure on our own drug companies to put out some better prices, if they know there's going to be competition. senator grassley of iowa and i have a bill to stop something called pay for delay. that's when big farm suit qual companies actually pay off general maker companies to keep less expensive products off the market. this bill would save taxpayers $2.9 billion. you know why? because right now there's no competition or very little competition and they're
