March 2006 - The Campaign to Fix the Bush Part D Disaster
The Bush Part D Disaster is a special interest law, written by and for the drug and insurance companies, that prohibits Medicare from negotiating for the lowest possible drug prices for seniors.

Part D must be fixed now to put seniors first, not drug and insurance companies.
