I’m with the drug company on this.

Profit isn’t their only motive but, is their sole reason for existence.

Risk is also a factor and while they might have an easier time getting approved in other countries, they cannot legitimately deliver a drug outside our regulatory process.

For instance, there is a drug that been in use for years in Europe to combat Hep-C.

My friend had exhausted all remedies available in the U.S. With no relief.

We waited and prayed for approval here in the U.S.

Praise the Lord we think she may finally be rid of a disease that could have taken her from us far too young.

Simeprevir was approved for use in November 2013 and God willing her condition will be undetectable in two more months.

To be sure, it’s super expensive. Her insurance and the company she works for are taking excellent care of her.

They accommodate her if she is not well. They make sure she is well cared for when she takes treatment on Fridays.

If she is not well enough to make it work, someone goes out of their way and will pick her up. They then let her work best she can and bring her water all day long and accompany her to the restroom so she is always with someone.

We are grateful to God for such a generous people.

She never gives up and never gives in.

I think her company has accommodated her so much and her colleagues as well.

But, the company providing the drug wouldn’t be able to do so if there were no profit.

Of course, profit enables them to help many thousands more in the US and Europe, as well all they give away to African nations.

They’re evil yuh know.

Sounds like she needs an airline before she needs a doctor.

My God damn the Regime!
