DCCC.org: New Mexico Attorney General Patricia Madrid National Radio Address
“When it comes to Medicare, America can do better”
If there was any doubt who benefited most from the Medicare plan, this ought to provide an answer:
The Republican Committee Chairman who guided the plan through Congress turned around and immediately became the top lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry — at a multi-million dollar salary. He and his industry cashed in, while America’s seniors and taxpayers are paying more. …
Under the Bush Administration and Republican Congress, the special interests and their lobbyists are writing our laws — and reaping the benefits.
We don’t have to allow these special interests to undermine our efforts to provide affordable prescription drugs for the seniors who need them. America can do better. And under a Democratic Congress, it will.
