Should Government Hospitals Get A Special Break Under ObamaCare To Ease National Costs

Wealth v. Health

Barack Obama

As President Barack Obama's health care program rolls out, there are many questions regarding its impact on national debt. It's law, therefore all parties involved need to work with it (be practical, what choice is there over the next few years). As the Judiciary Report previously suggested, money can be saved via the government receiving special pricing from pharmaceutical companies as well as medical imaging equipment manufacturers. 

Government hospitals in particular, whose expenses are shouldered by the taxpayer, should receive greater discounts from pharmaceutical companies as well as medical imaging equipment manufacturers. Why can't the government legislate pricing guidelines, as some companies are clearing a 1,000% profit off the sick. It should be their national duty. Let it not be said corporate profits were put ahead of the health of a nation.
