Is it possible that in this day and age, considering how powerful the Pharmaceutical companies are and how much medications they want to sell, that this country can go with drug shortages? It's interesting that in 2008 it was blamed on Olympics in China and Pollution in USA.

We can be assured that none of the politicians will be affected by the shortages, wanna bet?

Genocide is coming. Time to cull the herd.

Congress, their families, and staff
WILL GET WHAT THEY NEED !!!

... and THEY will richly profit as the supplies dwindle
for their dhimmi constituents.
[which is why there is a shortage in the first place]

For any chronic imbalance of supply and demand, look to government as the cause. Always.

BTW... As awkwardly written as this is... Was it originally composed in English?

Most people have no idea how extensive drug shortages can be.

Here is the FDA Current Drug Shortages Index, a very good link to bookmark.

“Adding to President Barack Obama’s 2012 initiative, this week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a new plan that further attempts to reduce shortages. By working closely with companies and encouraging programs”...

Uh, oh...better look out

Come on hospitals. There are some web sites in Canada where you can get everything you need.

BRILLIANT!!
Who needs “death panels” when all that is necessary is to dry up the supply of medications helpful in sustaining lives?

Welcome to Free Republic.

I suspect you are testing trial balloon to try to save somebody's butt.

The reason we are running short of these drugs is simple--it is not worthwhile to produce them. This is an example of policy killing product--an essential product.

Let pharm companies keep their patents longer. I know it kills you to see them make money...

But it's going to kill you if you don't have lifesaving drugs.
