I don't recall wanting a prescription-drug benefit, so that would be 0. Thanks for asking. But recall that pro-pharma Republicans put provisions in the bill that prevent the government from using its negotiating power to drive prices down, increasing the costs of the program. Dems were against this giveaway to corporations, which greatly increased the price of the bill.
So, to recap: GOP leaders borrowing money to reward their fat-cat corporate supporters. This OK by bilmore, just so long as we don't borrow to provide health-care to citizens.
