The House will vote on Speaker Pelosi's sweeping drug pricing bill next week, Democratic leadership announced this morning

The House will vote on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's sweeping drug pricing bill next week, Democratic leadership announced Thursday morning.

The timing would give new Democratic members a vote on an issue sure to loom large in the 2020 elections and show that Democrats can legislate during impeachment proceedings.Left unclear is whether there will be a complete score of the projected savings from the legislation prior to the vote. Pelosi's office has said leaders wanted a full score before bringing the bill to the floor.

The bill has virtually no chance of being taken up in the Republican-controlled Senate. And it could face constitutional challenges. An analysis from congressional legal advisers cautioned that the bill’s provisions limiting drug prices could run afoul of the Fifth Amendment’s takings clause as well as the Eighth Amendment’s excessive fines clause.

We should NOT be going forth with pricesetting as our 'solution' for the issue of drugpricing! It's apples to oranges pretty much...they don't work together

What exactly do the Senators do with their time? The House has passed hundreds of bills and they all go to the senate and die. Americans are desperate for cheaper drugs and the senate does absolutely nothing. senatemajldr Mitch McConnell do your job!

Nancy Pelosi says House will move forward with articles of impeachment against TrumpPelosi said 'the president leaves us with no choice but to act,' decrying his actions as 'in defiance of our founders.' This will spell the end of Biden's candidacy given that his son will be in front of the Senate trying to explain how he was a model citizen and his dad didn't know what he (Hunter) was doing. No Biden in the race will actually benefit the Democrats. Mrs Pelosi, do you know anything about the Constitution? If you did you would know that Congress, in it's current incarnation, is in defiance of our founders. Your ignorance and hypocrisy both amaze and frighten me.

My today's mood: Im-🍑 2 Kings 9:30-37 - and understand that the spirit behind who motivates humans in a haughty Jazebel manner has no great love for any human it motivates - and the end of it for the human is always much worse than the beginning.
