DRUG COMPANIES

HIGH PRICED DRUGS

See, this is the problem with industries that don't have competition. They can raise their prices at will and we have no choice but to pay it. Congress should monitor these price increases. Here in Alabama, the power company, gas company and South Central Bell have to go in front of the Public Service Commission to ask for a rate hike and it has to be shown that one is needed, not just to line the pockets of the utilities.

The drug companies and oil companies need such an oversight committee, so that the public can afford the things they need. Let these companies need these price hikes for operational reasons and not just greed.
