• We are currently compiling information concerning Mitt
Romney's position on prescription drugs and will publish it as
soon as possible.		

• One of the main proposals of Barack Obama with regards to
prescription drugs is to grant permission to the citizens of
America to buy safe prescription drugs from other developed
countries if the cost is comparatively less. This is in
cognizance of the fact that the prices of prescription drugs in
America are not only higher but are also constantly on the rise.


• Obama has also proposed lifting of the ban which
prevents the Federal Government from negotiating with the
pharmaceutical companies with the intention of lowering the
prices on the prescription drugs. 

• Since prescription drugs are mostly used by the elderly
segment of the population under the Medicare plan, Obama has
proposed that it should be mandatory on part of all insurance
providers providing Medicare to keep their seekers informed about
the names of prescription drugs which they use and the payment
which they make every year. 

• Obama has also forwarded the proposal to close the
infamous 'doughnut hole' which has been mentioned in the Medicare
part D prescription drug program. This is because the 'doughnut
hole' causes the people to incur medical expenditure to the tune
of thousands of dollars as it represents a gap in coverage
between a lower and a higher amount. 

• Through his new proposals, Obama intends to prevent
pharmaceutical companies from blocking the introduction of safe
and economical generic drugs into the market. 

• The new proposals with regards to Medicare prescription
drug programs are meant to enable the senior citizens to choose a
healthcare plan which would not only help to maintain their good
health but would also cost relatively less thus resulting in
savings.
