Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007 - H.R.4

This House bill would allow Medicare to negotiate prices for certain prescription drugs.


I guess the pundits and Republicans can say all they want that the Democrats agenda for the first 100 hours is not aggressive enough, but all I can say is it looks like a great start. It also is something that the Republicans did not accomplish and their leadership would not even allow votes on most of the items.

Good Luck Democrats and by that I mean good luck America!
