Nothing makes my rear end pucker up more than when I read about a study that claims something will be so much better and cheaper if only the government were to manage it.  So after the government increase taxes to pay for this program which only covers a core group of medicines, individuals will still need to buy private insurance to cover the ones that aren’t covered and/or to protect themselves from some future need for the drugs not included.  50+ years of failed socialist policy and programs and we haven’t learned anything????
