“Their only issue is PROFIT!”
There is no other reason to be in business!
Charity is for fools and those that want to go bankrupt!
I am going to have to strongly disagree with you FRiend. It depends on where are heart is.
Matthew 6:
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 10:
40 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”
Matthew 25:
34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
I don’t begrudge any drug manufacture a profit if their drugs will help people either to cure or control a disease. It cost millions to develop them, and they have to recoup the cost. They have share holders to please too. FDA has a big role in this too, it needs revamped badly. There are British drugs that have been on the market for years, and work, but they have to go through the FDA process to be used here.
I do object to these slick ad campaigns they use to make their crappy product #1 when there are already proven drugs with less side effects on the market already for the same thing. It is how Crestor and Lipitor became 1 & 2. hubby takes Provacal, cheaper, works just as well, less side effects. These 2 drugs are dumped the most for their side effects. But maybe they will scare the Heck out of people instead with the long list of terrible side effects.
Prolia will be the next one OP drug 6 month shot, already has lawsuits against it, Jaw degeneration. Same as Fosamax.
Now they are doing it with Lyrica a Epilepsy drug, for Fibromyalgia and Peripheral Neuopathy. I belong to the FMS blog and nearly every one hates the side effects. They are already in enough pain, and you give them this crap and it increases the pain, kills your libido, and your hair can fall out along with uncontrolled weight gain among the few side effects of the drug. Per Pain Management Dr 50% drop off Lyrica because of the side effects.
I do object to doctors running test to pad their bills though. My internist knows I have a ENDO, he is not supposed to be running the same test. Nor do I need a Chest X ray or EKG every 3 months, in fact I don’t need to see the Internist on that level. Twice a year is all I need him unless something new crops up or a surgeon wants a EKG for a surgery.
