What Obama got in the deal with the drugmakers

Yes, he cut the drugmakers some slack in scrutiny on drug payments. But he not only got $80 billion in overall cost reductions -- he also got $150 million in free advertising to sell the Obama health plan, right now.

Not a bad deal. Divide and conquer -- get the drugmakers inside the tent pissing out....
