So there IS an agreement. Then why did the white house - and the pharmacutical companies - originally deny that there was one? Right up until the time that a written copy of the agreement was published. If everything is so good, and on the up and up, why do the people pushing it lie so much about it and try to keep people from finding out what's going on? Why are there secret deals being made?

Doing business Chicago style may be a "teachable moment" for Pharma. Keep one hand on your wallet and one hand close to your carry piece. The Obama Chicago Mob rarely keeps promises unless it gives them leverage and control.

They're used to dealing with other businesses that do the same. So of course they're ill-equipped to handle politicians, who get big by other means entirely.

Amazing to me the very smart folks at big pharma don't see they're dealing with a treachourous mindset--one that will destroy them as soon as they're strong enough.
