Mary Fallin voted against prescription drug price negotiation and against prescription drug reimportation. Mary is one of her normal moments of brillance voted against legislation that required the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department to negotiate with drug companies on behalf of beneficiaries in the Medicare prescription drug benefit.
She also voted against legislation that allowed individuals, wholesalers and pharmacists to import FDA-approved prescription drugs.
Mary said on the House floor that “one of the groups which is suffering under the tough economic times is seniors. Some are still working to earn enough money just to make ends meet. Some are on fixed incomes, and every slight increase in expenses can cause them to experience difficult times.”
Now we here at Fallin Fail know as well as anyone that Mary’s logic is hard to follow so let us break it down for you.
According to Mary having the government negotiate to bring down the costs of prescription drugs would indeed increase the cost of the drugs themselves therefore only hurting people more.
Now since she is a Congresswoman she surely knows what she is talking about right?
Wrong.
Mary Fallin once again turns her back on the people of Oklahoma and gives her buds at the Corporations what they want. By voting against bringing down drug costs Mary has insured that the big prescription drug companies will continue to grow richer, and as a result Oklahoman’s will have to keep paying high prices for their prescriptions with no cost breaks in sight.
Don’t worry folks Mary got something out fo her vote. Fallin received $2,700 from drug companies, I guess she will sell out Oklahoma for any price.
