"Drop dead" over the top? Not really, since prescription drugs can save lives, right? LIke your Mom's or your grandmother's?

AP:

Older Americans find the [new Medicare Prescription Drug] law too confusing to be able to say whether they like it, according to both it supporters and detractors.

More Bush trickeration? Here's all you need to know about Bush's prescription drug bill:

• It only kicks in after the 2004 election, so there's no chance for citizens to see the law in action before voting. I wonder why?


• There's no money to pay for it, because of Bush's tax cuts for the super-rich. So it's another typical bait and switch operation


• It doesn't legalize cheap drugs from Canada


• Big pharma likes it for that reason, and also because they have greater leverage to keep prices high than they would under a single-payer system
