I have friends in big pharma, and they told me not to believe the lie that those huge prices are because of the costs of research. The costs of meds are high because 2/3 of the companies' profits go to lobbying in Washington and bribing doctors and hospitals to use their products exclusively.
What a disgraceful, rotten bastard is Mr. BHO. That article should be distributed to everyone who votes in the USA. Just one more thing put forth by him either out of ignorance, ineptness, or downright destructiveness. I never was much of a hater -- but I'm learning.
BHO is more evil than even FDR. In some ways they are worse than Hitler or Stalin. At least those two miscreants were right up front with their nastiness. Both Obama and Roosevelt cloak their misdeeds to the point where people actually believe in their lies.
There is currently a new drug approved by the FDA that is used to treat certain blood cancers. It is a pill that is taken daily and thus far appears to be a lifetime medication, such as HBP meds. It works great so far, and has few side effects, but the cost is approximately $10,000.00 a month. Many people who are able to obtain it have been successful getting grants from the pharmaceutical company to subsidize the cost. I am wondering why a company would price a drug far and above what the average person could afford, only to subsidize it. Not many people have $120,000.00 available on a yearly basis for a life saving drug. How does the manufacturer plan to generate a profit if the product is unaffordable?
To late to put war time president in the legacy although the victims of his various wars were more civilians and citizens than the usual category. He did nothing about improving police except to turn them into the Gestapo. Ended up losing the war on terrorism. I guess the cancer patients are a safer target rich environment....guy didn't get nabbed by the principal for taking cuts and still doesn't know what he's doing.
Arrested! So much for 'demonacracy'. I guess there is enough of us for them to profit on, so letting 6.5 billion of us die won't make much difference in there bottom line. [sarcasm] But, This might be an opportunity to use already established cures (flora-essence tea, intervenes vitamin C, Hemp oil and others) and explore many others. It just might bite them in the butt in the end.
Unfortunately most of the 'market' has 'health' insurance that promises something for nothing, and doesn't cover alternative therapies. So the insurance industry and the government eliminate competition for the alopathic industry(pharma/docs/hospitals) and insure not health, but higher prices. Like the banksters who guarantee inflation of the currency, the 'insurance cartel' kicks the medical cost can down the road instead of letting the free market limit costs naturally. Of course the government solution is the cause instead of the remedy.

Edit: to make it clear who I was replying to
you have a whole lot of haters in you court.
