Top 5 Reasons the current Medicare bill is no good?

Advertisements [?]

The main drawback I'm aware of is that the government will have to pay whatever prices the drug companies demand with no way to negotiate for lower prices. This could be a huge unnecessary drain on the taxpayer. What the hell is the defense for this? The Republicans can argue all they want about new things that the bill will cover, but doesn't mean much if you have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

What are some other reasons? Pros, cons?
