    I thought part of the ACA was that big pharma had to stop spending money on advertising and spend it on r&d instead? I still see fucking pill commercials out the ass!

    no...the insurance companies have to spend 80% of their expenses on health care....pharmaceutical companies aren't insurance companies
    Right, but the ACA is a huge bill with hundreds, if not thousands of provisions. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that pharmaceutical companies were to reallocate advertising money to r&d to help drive down the cost of health care in the long run. Perhaps it wasn't in the final draft that passed into law. Which wouldn't surprise me.

    Rather than start a new thread reviving this one. Do think decision by Supreme Court was big. Great speech by Obama afterwards. Agree.

    Will be very interesting to see how this affects pres election.

    Also did Supreme Court majority vote on law or public interest. Not convinced it was at law siding with republicans but glad it turned out this way. Will read majority and opposing write ups shortly.

    Thoughts?

    Supreme Court voted terms in AHC don't violate constitution thereby not mortally wounding it.

    It's an improvement but it's like saying that Hangover 3 is better than part 2. It's still heavily flawed and needs single payer. DINObama=worst socialist ever.

    If we can keep the good parts and improve or throw out the bad,then I think we may have AHC act that ALL of us can support.
    We must do something about the Criminal costs of medications and the fleecing of the the paying public by the drug companies

    If Congress can tell Big Pharma to go fuck themselves and mandate via tweak to medicare law allowing the government to negotiate prices it would go a long way to reigning in some costs. Aslo good to note most of these companies are foreign owned and operated.

    Yes. It could use some refinement.
