Eliot Spitzer and the cost of drugs
In my capacity as blogger and concerned citizen, I'm all for knowing what pharmacies charge for drugs. Price transparency is a good idea, so I support government building "an interactive Web site to help New Yorkers comparison shop for prescription drugs." However, if I were a New York politician other than Eliot Spitzer or a taxpayer in that state (actually, I am, come to think of it), I would want to know why this is the attorney general's job. If this is within the mandate of his office, what isn't?
