While this would drastically lower drug prices, Bush plans to veto this bill. It's nothing new, of course our government wouldn't spend a little extra so seniors and people without insurance could catch a break.

Rep. Mike Rogers(R-Mich) Says that it will "open the gates to every (drug) counterfeiter in the world."

If they would control what goes through our borders a little better, maybe they wouldn't have such a problem.

Representative government at it's best, the will of the people never seems to be of any significance anymore.
