How to Close a Medicare Doughnut Hole

To tell you the truth, I don't approve of this plan, becuase it does not solve the broken down health care system we have. But anyway:

Requiring Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices from pharmaceutical companies -- a popular idea that nevertheless faces significant political hurdles -- will not produce enough savings to fill the doughnut hole, experts say. And making up the difference would require big tax increases or spending cuts elsewhere if Democrats are to keep another campaign promise, to be fiscally responsible and avoid increasing the federal budget deficit.

I got a great program the Dems can defund: The Imperial War for Iraq, which is at this time of writing costs about 356 billion dollars. That would be more than enough to fill that hole.
