D for Dreadful

Great exhaustive piece from the New York Times regarding changes to Medicare, specifically Part D, which deals with prescription drug coverage. The plan is essentially corporate, and in my view represents the problem with the Republican Party. They take a serious problem that needs a solution, and squander a chance for actual improvement by serving corporate America, and screwing over the people who need help. They pass the measure by arm twisting, and by witholding important fact/truth in an effort to deceive the public so they can claim mission accomplished.
