MessageI'm not concerned about subsidizing the rich's drugs: This calls for subsidies on everyone's drugs. They are just only FREE for the poor. They are subsidized for everyone.

MessageThen why not make them free for ALL? If you want the rich to pay more for drugs, raise there taxes, if you think there taxes are high enough, then leave this law as it is.

MessageWhy, may we ask, do we need to provide free Viagra for anyone who wants it? Let those who use more, and can afford it, pay a co-payment out of pocket.

MessageIt is, but it is a disease one can live with, and it's wrong when people can afford to pay for it to say the taxpayers have to foot the entire bill. We will subsidize part of it, just not all of it.

MessageWhy should the poor get free Viagra? The rich and upper middle class are the only taxpayers.

MessagePeople can live with a lot of diseases, meaning that sleeping pills, painkillers, anti-acids, are unnecessary.

MessageRe: CFP, the poor shouldn't really get free Viagra, but the problem with requiring a co-pay from them is that drugs they NEED might be priced out of their very limited budgets.

This proposal will not force anyone to go without the pharmaceuticals they need.

MessageBut, it says that it finances drugs for the poor, it has no bearing on the costs of the drugs.
