I’m fully aware that new pharma products have to go through an expensive approval process.
The Food and Drug Administration was created in the infamous “Progressive Era” around a hundred years ago.
For some cervical cancer is a real threat and the vaccine may be an option, but no pharma product is 100 percent perfect.
To mandate Guardasil was wrong because it was assuming that cervical cancer is a threat to every young girl who’s 11 or 12 years old.
Back to beating on the pharmaceutical companies.
We all know the liberals and the left hit the industry hard in recent decades over the cost of its products, especially for the elderly.
What happened as a result of the attacks was Medicare Part D.
Now the taxpayers and the national debt subsidize the cost of pharma products. That was wrong, too.
We need freedom and free markets without government propping up any business, no matter how noble their products are??????
I find it interesting that people want their favorite drugs to cost less and therefore like it when government requires insurance companies (or the government) to cover the cost and that some how makes it less expensive...
Requiring the buyer to buy it is hardly an incentive to the manufacturer to lower the cost...
The truth is, the cost is not lowered, it is simply spread around to everyone who pays taxes and/or buys insurance. Only the individual consuming it gets the “lower cost” of that particular item...
When you multiply that philosophy across the board it creates an economic disaster as there is no end to it.
