We’ve Seen This Trigger Before

Yep, we sure have!  The newest trigger proposal, more than likely, will be drafted in such a way that it would take 75% of Americans to become dangerously ill, in such a way that it endangers the American economy, or some such unlikely occurrence. Cheaper drugs are still not available to the poorest Americans who seem to be subsidizing the medications needed  by the wealthiest and best insured. 

What we need is a public option which along with medicare for the elderly and the disabled would give the government the right to bargain for cheaper drugs, not just generics, for all people covered by those programs.
