In 2003, the US Congress voted the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act, which banned Medicare, the country’s largest single-payer health care system, from negotiating drug prices.

Florida Senator Rick Scott defrauded Medicare/Medicaid of hundreds of millions of dollars to enrich his own healthcare company, using fake invoices. He was still elected.
