I’m not in the industry but I remember hearing about a drug shortage a month or so ago.

I can’t remember the exact details but it was impacting a number of both Australian manufactured and imported from the US drugs.

Looks like there’s something wrong with the global supply system.

We are being transformed into Crapistan by the crap in the White House. And we are only just beginning.

You only THINK we don’t live in crapistan. Such “shortages” are symptomatic of crony corporate fascism...where the little guys....keeping the big producers on their toes...get stamped out ...so the big guys don’t have to stay on the top of their game.

There are shortages of a lot of popular medications. Asking at my HMO’s pharmacy, they told me that the drug manufacturers are being limited by the federal government. They are having trouble acquiring some of the chemical components of their drugs. (The pharmacist, an Indian guy, then went on a long conservative rant, which I enjoyed.) I certainly believe the first part, about the government regulating drug companies’ output. Unsure about the second part, difficulty acquiring chemicals.

I am gonna make a guess. It probably has to do with Obamacare. You know, the parts that we don’t know about that is happening behind our backs.

It’s my understanding that the DEA sets quotas for manufacturers of Schedule I and II medications. I read an article where Ritalin and other ADD drugs are in short supply because the DEA didn’t guess right.

Sounds like part of ObamaCare we wouldn’t find out about until the bill was passed.

Control of the supply by those in power. For the common good, equality and all that rot, you know.

How's that Hope and Change working out for you?

Welcome to America in the Age of Obama. Get used to it. It is only going to get worse. Much worse.

The Obama Administration is trying to turn America into a backward, third rate country and slowly but surely they are moving America in that direction.

The Obama Administration has taken to changing the regulating the drug companies and creating all kinds of regulatory and pricing hurdles. There are also potential legal liabilities. Drug manufacturing is also moving overseas, just one more thing America can no longer do.

My last physical I was talking about Obamacare with my doctor.
His take: “If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it’s free.”

The times I smoked marijuana it wasn't for pain. I never thought - Ouch my knee hurts I better smoke some marijuana.

Creation of new laws and regulations which shut down profitable businesses and they are then bought up by large conglomerates. Regulations also control the quantity of supply to force higher ‘costs’. The government and big pharma then become ‘partners’ in big business, and this health care plan is just a way or ‘dictating’ what the markets will be in supplies so that the large conglomerates do not have to deal with such things as ‘competition’ and a changing market.

It’s all about the money, honey.

Berry explains that the drugs used by anesthesiologists are sterile, injectable medications that are injected directly into a patient’s blood stream. As such, they are required to be the purest of all medications, which in turn makes them among the most difficult to produce. But, he adds, there are many other factors that influence the shortage of anesthetic drugs, including manufacturing issues, such as difficulty obtaining the necessary raw materials, which often come from developing countries; increasingly stringent manufacturing standards; and distribution issues. Those factors, combined with a low profit margin on some anesthetics, including Propofol, led Israel’s Teval Pharmaceutical Industries and Hospira Inc. of Lake Forest, Ill., to halt production and recall some batches of the sedative due to quality-control issues.

Never imagined this would be an issue, thanks for the head's up ...

Send every patient a block of email addresses for the white house, HHS, all members of the house and senate and tell them to thank them for adding to their pain and suffering. Remind the patients that who they vote for has consequences. Voting for a democrat will ultimately bring pain, suffering, deprivation, and ultimately death to you and your families.

FUBO & FAD
