Healthcare in Overdrive, with Obama Pushing

snip...............

Underscoring the numerous disputes still raging, consumer and labor groups wrote late Thursday to Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., asking them to shorten the 12 years of protection the bill would give brand name biotech drugs from low-cost generic competitors. Obama supports a shorter period, but that is fiercely opposed by pharmaceutical companies.

OK here we go changing patent laws.

It takes six to more than eight years to get a new drug through the FDA, with all the efficy testing that must be done, so these dolts want the generic manufacturers to take over after only twelve years.

What company in their right mind would spend eight years and millions/billions to develop a new drug, then have their technology taken away from them possibly before they hit break even on the investment.

Say goodbye to the US pharma industry!

They need a fresh CBO score before passage.

“Reform bill could be sent to CBO this week, Rangel says:
http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20100114/REG/301149980

According to the link above, they may be sending it to the CBO today.

If the deals we’ve been hearing about are true, the next score CAN’T be pretty.

But will it be ugly enough to encourage some nervous red state Dems to switch their vote to “no”?

He has already taken over the judicial branch. Not one federal court will order Obama to reveal his COLB now under lock and key in Hawaii by Court Order.There have been over 40 law suits.

Driving home, I was thinking of something.
here in ny, it is public record that all government(state)workers are published, with their salaries on line. I am going to Post the link later. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE CADILLAC HEALTH CARE PLANS.

DO WHAT YOU WISH WITH THE INFO.

I recommend that each and everyone of us finds out if they can get that same info for their states.

If they foist evil on us, it will only piss us off that much harder.

I’m not saying *allow* evil, I am saying they will only throw 1000 gasoline tankers on an towering inferno.

“Going nuclear” will have new meaning.

Reap the whirlwind they will.
