for all you pharma reps that voted for obama, here is your just desserts:
Obama employment bill "will destroy 238,000 pharma jobs"
Thats just too bad! Remember, this is a free market society. In this case, the fed govt is trying to get the best price, etc that it can get; just pfizer does, and all other companies do. The drug industry has been pillaging this country for decades, now you are angry at govt for sayin "enough"? The bottomline line is that these companies will make many billions in profit annually, and do noty NEED to cut anyone!
Virtually all payers insist on rebates including all insurers. The medicare and medicaid are insurance and should operate as such. In many cases, drug companies decide not to seek the coverage, because they dont want to pay rebates. Well same here, if they dont want to pay rebates, dont seek the medicare/medicare business.
The govt is not responsible for the hypothetical layoffs; they rest solely with the drug companies, should they occur. I ask you hypothetically, why woyld a company who made 10 billion+_ in profits for 2011, NEED to have layoffs in 2012? Greed is the problem.
