Scathing Words

As scathing as Bill Moyers is in this denunciation of the current state of the “health care debate” there is a point that he, like everyone else, omits from the discussion of the debate itself.

“This is the fourth time in a decade,” he says, that Pfizer has faced major fines for fraud and malfeasance, and this most recent one is the largest fine ever paid by any corporation. Yet health care reform does not address the practices or the pricing policies of drug companies.

We all know why that is.
