Big Pharma may save your sorry left wing ass some day. You one of those people who long for the days of scrofula?
I'm not left & love big pharma , but they do have agents of influence that play dirty.
Being against big pharma doesn’t make one a lefty. Years ago when I testified on the Hill at the Hosmer Hearings when Congress was trying to make vitamin supplements into over the counter drugs, the outpouring from liberals AND conservatives was overwhelming. At any rate all agreed the government had no right to force us to pay more for GRAS (generally recognized as safe) items by restricting their sale.
Big Pharma probably hates the supplements industry because people who study alternative treatments of conditions, and experiment on themselves are not giving them their hard earned money for unnecessary drugs. There are certainly times when Pharma drugs may be needed, but mostly they are not, and Obamacare will cost a lot less if people learn how to prevent their own illnesses rather than expecting doctors who get free drug samples, sales pitches and brain washing from Big Pharma to wave a magic wand for them.
