Buzzword: Doughnut Hole

The President Obama gave a weekly address on healthcare, which already passed both the House and the Senate, waiting to be finalized to become a law. The bill is quite complicated with many factors, among them are prescription drugs and public options. The Medicare coverage of seniors seems to be a bunch of compromises of some sort. There is no negotiations possible for Medicare prescription drug prices, which was made into a law in 2003. It must have been a tough task to pass the law -- they say, the drug companies pay the lobbyists huge sums of money that amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars over the years.
