WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday, October 17th at 9:30 a.m., the American Action Forum will release a new analysis showing that forcing Medicaid-style price controls on the Medicare prescription drug program would hurt patients, industry and workers. The analysis, "Employment Impact of Proposed Mandatory Part D Drug Rebates," concludes that the plan to add these rebates would destroy 238,000 jobs across the industry.

Book, Ph.D. The specific findings of the analysis will be released Monday morning during a press conference call.

You can also just sit on them and enjoy the day. But there are other creatures out there who like lawns too. They want to eat them. From under the ground.
That splintering noise you heard Tuesday was the sound of tens of thousands of safe cribs being thrown into Dumpsters by financially distressed retailers. We arrived here along the all-too-familiar path of congressional mandates and regulatory excess. For anyone who still doubts that our economy is being strangled by executive agencies churning out burdensome and unwarranted regulation, chilling proof can be found in the economic waste caused by the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) handling of the congressional mandate to promulgate retroactive safety standards for cribs. Because of legitimate concerns about the safety of drop-side cribs, in 2008 Congress required the CPSC to issue new mandatory safety standards for all cribs and to apply the new standards retroactively; that...
