THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A terrific issue in prescription-drug coverage, but their caution on budgetary politics and deference to the pharmaceutical industry could blow their advantage. President George Bush says he supports drug coverage, but his budget allows only stripped-down coverage for the poor and near-poor. The catch: They first have to spend a lot of money out-of-pocket and most of them can't afford to do so. It's a phony bill; but except for a few stalwarts like Ted Kennedy and Paul Wellstone, the Democrats are reluctant to pit a decent drug bill against the Bush tax cut.
