Obamacare!

It’ll cure what ails you, by renaming it and declaring you cured.

Isn’t this what opponents of Obamacare warned. That drugmakers would shelf innovation and research due to the costly and burdensome regs. Of course Rooters glosses over this and ignores it.

Merck aims to narrow its focus to products with the best chance of winning regulatory approval and achieving substantial sales, while jettisoning research products with less likelihood of success.

Likelihood of success = Death Panel approval probability

Good thing we don't need a new class of antibiotics today, otherwise the reduction in R&D spending could really be detrimental.

Countries with socialized medicine do not create new drug therapies.

Growth seems unlikely.

Batten down the hatches to weather the storm.

Obamacare is death to research

Drug companies will go the way of doctors

Thre will be masses with obamacare cards and no providers

Innovative care will be GONE

For the past 10 years, medical care has been drug sales. Mds don’t want to know anything about how to cure disease or include patients in their care.

Patients wxpect drugs

Third party and govt pays.

Now govt takes over

But govt health care Medicare has been bankrupt. Now obamacare hops on. To a bankrupt system. Obama didnt ask the doctors. The doctors don’t know anything about this anyway having been socialized on a third party payer system

So doctors throw up their hands and leave. Drug companies will do the same.
That contributes to unemployment

It reduces quality of care like we haven’t seen

Instead of scrambling, people will do well to rethink it, go to pre third party payer thinking (1930s)

Exercise, eating right, fighting addiction, proper sleep, healthy social life, understanding of first aid, accident prevention

Obama, I am told by health food store denizens,
has encroached on supplement industry.

I am watching big pharm

Well, at least we get a true example of what it means to be “decimated”. It’s most often used incorrectly.

. . . taking a cue from other drugmakers that have slashed research spending to bolster earnings

Next, they will stop their wristwatches and clocks to save time.

They know that sooner or later a single payer agency will be coming around to the pharma sector to collect it’s cut.

Lotsa confusion here.

Big healthcare companies are a key part of globalism / new world order.

New world order cares less than nothing about individual people.

Layoffs are fine by them.

Think about totalitarian regimes.

Then think about transnational financial elites.

They are always the financial backing for “nationalized” industries, whether in the Western countries (US/UK/Europe) or third world countries.

Governments that are “in bed with” globalism are like vassals, they rule the people on behalf of globalist elites.

Most people angrily reject the idea that their government has been, in effect, hijacked.

In a two party system - they keep insisting that all their problems are the fault of “the other party”.

The world will suffer. We were making the new drugs, because we were the only country which still had incentives for the manufacturers to take risks. Now we don’t.

SO soon, every country that already socialized their medicine will finally feel the pain of that choice, as they won’t be freeloading on our backs. Of course, we will all be dead of some drug-resistant bacterial strain, but at least we will all go together.

The hippies will be happy as the earth is returned to mother Nature.
