Rob Andrews: “What would happen under the gentleman's amendment is the prescription drug price of this senior would go up…”

On the recordFebruary 18, 2011
What would happen under the gentleman's amendment is the prescription drug price of this senior would go up dramatically, and he would have to pay the entire cost of that prescription until he hit, I think, the $5,100 limit. This is substantive legislation, the effect of which will dramatically raise prescription drug costs for America's neediest seniors.
