But Mah Deficit

Only assholes on the internet will point out that none of this ever has anything to do with Teh Deficit.

This is a double whammy, because the pharma plan was also a key pay-for in the bill. Cut that out, and not only do people not get cheaper drugs, but other elements of the bill also need to be trimmed to meet the moderate's deficit neutrality demand https://t.co/xwAOYegDpM
