This is Government Health Care - discounted medicines for hospitals, but no discounts for you. Enough!

It is no secret that federal health programs are growing at an unwieldy and ultimately cataclysmic rate. ObamaCare, Medicaid expansion, growing entitlements and new mandates are all contributing to the unchecked expansion of government controlled health care and the increasing liability for taxpayers.

In simple terms, the solution is to institute policies that will allow free-market principles to foster an environment where the individual patient is empowered just as customers are in virtually every other market. Such a market would allow consumers to choose medical care and insurance based on value and cost, rather than allow market participants and providers to rig the system to reap windfall profits due to government patronage.

This consolidation of medical services at the expense of patients shockingly underscores what government intrusion ultimately means for health care – less access, fewer choices and increased costs for patients, and taxpayers.

Please please I would like to hear some input from the local azar supporters again! Its such an "honor" to screw the citizens of the country to make a small percentage wealthy. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites

12:43 amen. All the money we pay the least we can get is a reliable healthcare system and not the byproduct of some childish, idiotic political party feud.

America is a family values country with pedophilic and sexually abusive rulers, a fiscally conservative government that doesn't ever stop spending, we believe in taking care of each other as long as we don't have to do anything and anything is possible if you have the money, and if you don't we'll use the bible to tell you to get screwed.

"Greatest country in the world" still light years behind the rest of the developed world in healthcare.

There is no markup provision in any of the law. It all upon review would be considered gouging. You will never fix healthcare until you address the costs associated with the billing of services and items being way out of line with reality.

When AETNA and CVS merge, I'm sure the cost of Congressional Pharmacy scripts will go down!

This guy paid all that money for a Dartmouth and Yale education to learn how to do this "legally"

What is it with wicomico county school(parkside high) system and the drug culture? One if its finer students learns higher education can put in a position to do things legally that one of its teachers is penalized for doing illegally. Drugs are drugs whether its pharmacies or in the streets, it's all about the money
