From the
EXECUTIVE ORDER REDUCING PRESCRIPTION DRUG SHORTAGES:
"
The FDA shall communicate to the Department of Justice (DOJ) any findings that shortages have led market participants to stockpile the affected drugs or sell them at exorbitant prices. The DOJ shall then determine whether these activities are consistent with applicable law. Based on its determination, DOJ, in coordination with other State and Federal regulatory agencies as appropriate, should undertake whatever enforcement actions, if any, it deems appropriate."
While I have a problem with big international pharma, big international chemical companies, and crony capitalism (think replacing CFC inhalers with garbage HFA ones), I am also aware of the cost of developing new medications and manufacturing quality generics.
This all reminds me of Hillary's mandate to make vaccines more available by in essence regulating that manufacturers run at a loss.

How can this be?
You can't walk in a drug store without someone trying to stick a flu vaccine in your arm.

“Based on Hillary Clintons proclamation of a nonexistent crisis, Congress had been stampeded into passing unnecessary legislation. And even though the worst features of the administration plan had been dropped, the country was still stuck with a program that was more costly, cumbersome and wasteful than the one it replaced.”

I have a friend who is getting ready to receive cancer treatments (chemo).
She said the doctor told her he wanted to prescribe a certain medication, but because the drug company is “greedy,” and they can’t get the price they want for it, it’s in short supply, so he had to prescribe something else.
