Insulin has been around for decades,long before big-government/big-corporate criminal complex took over health care.

Give me one example of something the big-government/big corporate criminal complex does that is about anything except money.

If you read my reply #88 I did not defend the costs of medications, and in fact thought many drugs are too expensive. The U S citizen is charged more for a medication then Canada who pays less for the same drug......Price gouging for new drugs is nasty, but it cannot be denied that they put out life saving medicines.

For decades there was only a few pharmacuticals....Parke Davis was one and it was in an area I use to drive by when shopping....Now it is highly competitive..with a multitude of pharmacutical business's..It is a cut throat business with a rush to be the first with a new medication..

It also cannot be denied that the FDA regulates the business so heavily, that the cost of R & D is unnecessarily high...

These business have to kiss the arse of government to get their products on the market. Blame government. They have *big pharma* by the short hairs and greasing the wheels of politicians with large amt. of money is a necessity evil of doing business in this country...The evil one here is regulations and regulators put in place by our great congress of mostly corrupt people...and the government is the one that lets them charge more to recupe money based on their having to charge less to other countries that won't pay the same price american's have to...it stinks but thats the game Washington plays. Its pay the price or go out of business...

In reguard to your wanting me to read something you find interesting, forget it. And I won't tell you to read something I think is interesting that might bore you to death...
