Brain -> Billy Tauzin Stepping Down as Head of PhRMA (2/12/2010 1:47:36 PM)

He’s leaving? How sad. Millions of people have to pay for expensive medicine, can’t get cheaper generic drugs and have no health insurance because of this creep. Now that Tauzin is gone will Obama continue to say they have a deal? Because Democrats are almost as corrupt as Republicans I don’t expect the change Obama promised during his election even with the Democrats senate loss in Massachusetts. It appears Obama thinks people are stupid and he can get away with doing nothing so I hope people make him learn the hard way with further losses. Hopefully, people will vote for real independents next time not Republicans masquerading as Democrat light.


Billy Tauzin Stepping Down as Head of PhRMA

The head of PhRMA announced last night that he is leaving his job. The development comes amid uncertainty over the fate of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, which the drug association had backed after striking an $80 billion deal with the White House and Senate Democrats to limit costs to the industry in the legislation. Tauzin said in a statement yesterday that when he steps down in the summer he will have completed the 5 1/2 years of service he agreed to when he took the job. He said he will continue to serve as a consultant for PhRMA.

This is one of those posts that deserves to be read by William Shatner, accompanied by a cool jazz beat. Its like free form poetry, or one of Sarah Palin's tweets.

Once upon a time I liked ole Billy.  Billy gave me my nomination for the Air Force Academy in his first term in the US House of Reps.

Then there was the Medicaid Prescription Drug Bill which he had a lot to do with getting through Congress.  If you remember there were many people and organizations that were highly critical of that bill for how cheap and easy it let the Pharmaceutical Companies get off.

2 months later he leaves Congress and on the same day starts his job at PhRMA with a huge salary.

In the end just another slime ball.
