None dare call it socialism

Noter how this lover of freedom, Rab, doesn't want to grant the government freedom to elect whyich corporations they'll puchase from?

Right wing cranks tend to have a very limited definition of freedom.

Basically they mean they love FREEDOM OF CORPORATIONS to do whatever the fuck they want.

Well, not surpring that.

That is, after all, fairly typical thinking of FASCISTS.

Hey dumbshit, what does the CEO have to do with whether the gov't is getting the best price on its purchase? They either are or they aren't. But refusing to buy the lowest priced good because you don't like the CEO is wasting money and inefficient. Not that you care of course.
I think your source is truly full of hot air. Check Bloomberg below.

Forest Laboratories Inc. (FRX) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Howard Solomon, whose company paid $313 million to settle a U.S. fraud case last year, is the latest pharmaceutical executive facing a ban from doing business with federal health programs.

Forest and Solomon were notified of the action in an April 12 letter from the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human Services, the New York-based drugmaker said in a statement. Former KV Pharmaceutical Co. (KV/A) Chief Executive Officer Marc Hermelin resigned as a director last year after he became the first drug-company owner or executive barred from doing business with Medicare, the U.S. health plan for the elderly and disabled, and Medicaid, the program for the poor.

If baring a company involved in fraud from doing business with the federal government is socialism, then we need more of it.
