Item titled, "Game-changing H.R. 3 would stop prescription-drug price gouging - By Reps. Angie Craig and Dean Phillips | 08:49 am" [publishing date not specified].
Before being captured by the two getting arm cramps from patting themselves on the back, consider this and this.
There is the old saying that half a loaf is better than no bread at all; so why settle on crumbs when substantial progress could be made on a more visionary scale? At least there is a half-a-loaf vision well past the Pelosi thing in aim; i.e., a progressive view. neatly progressive and neatly already written in alternative language form. All it takes is a popular will to develop strongly enough to be felt; in as direct a way as needed to constrain room for equivocation as the issue progresses with time.
Ask this: What has Speaker Nancy Pelosi done for progress, lately? Well then, Steny Hoyer? Hand a progressive hat to Steny? Why? When? Take time to think all that out
_______________UPDATE___________
This item suggests offering from the floor of progressive amendment to the Pelosi text will be permitted. It is unclear if much changes beyond that.
