AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons, said brand-name drug prices have climbed 3.4 percent -- or three times the rate of inflation -- since December. The jump was one of the sharpest quarterly spikes since 2000, the report said.
Gee, there's a surprise. "It doesn't seem to be market driven."
Who's losing money with this new medicare plan? Seniors. Typical Bush job. Give it a nice name and then use it to do the opposite of what was promised. This was most likely part of the plan. After all, he owes the drug companies for all their support. Honestly, is anybody really surprised?
