The Jackson Clarion-Ledger: on Health Care


Bill Bowlin: Drug plans need simple laws, procedures and policies

Q. What is your position on improving access and quality of health care to Americans?

A. I believe in simple laws, procedures and policies. The current drug plans for our elderly are awful. They are too confusing, too expensive and too often our citizens are unsure what they are entitled to. We can have and I will work for better plans. The creation of needed new drugs seems hampered by too great of costs, time and delay. There needs to be a concerted movement to find cures for diseases.

Jim Hood: Uncovered industry-wide plan to inflate drug prices

Unsealed court documents in a lawsuit filed by Mississippi and 41 other states show how drug companies coordinated to inflate the price of generic drugs, according to a press release from Attorney General Jim Hood. "The evidence shows an industry-wide conspiracy to hinder access to drugs that Americans rely on every day," "It shows that these people knew that what they were doing was illegal and then took measures to make sure their actions weren't uncovered. Today, their cover is blown."
