The Pharma-Bush Cheat on Seniors and Drugs
From Reuters/Yahoo:
Prices for medicines most used by older Americans rose steadily after the Bush administration enacted the new Medicare law late last year, the nation's largest group representing the elderly said on Wednesday.Just charming, isn't it?
AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, said brand-name drug prices have climbed 3.4 percent -- or three times the rate of inflation -- since December.
The jump was one of the sharpest quarterly spikes since 2000, the report said.
