America can’t afford to wait until the presidency changes in 2013! This ENTIRE administration is inherently evil.
The Republicrats need some cleansing as well. Speaker Boner and Congressman Cantor are far from a remedy to this lunacy that emanates from every cubicle in Washington.
Not one candidate for president has said that everything that transpired from 1913 until the present needs to be reversed or in a few cases dramatically altered.
Save CFC Asthma Inhalers
About SaveCFCinhalers.org
SaveCFCinhalers.org (The National Campaign to Save CFC Asthma Inhalers) is a grassroots, nonprofit Social Welfare Organization registered in Indiana. ALL CAMPAIGN MANAGERS AND STAFF ARE UNPAID VOLUNTEERS. We are dedicated to protecting the health, safety, quality of life and human rights of all asthma and pulmonary patients by bringing about the permanent legalization of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) in the United States.
We are the only asthma patient advocate organization that is fighting to bring CFC MDIs back for the patients who cannot tolerate HFA MDIs. And we are the only asthma patient advocate organization that accepts no funds from drug companies, other businesses, nonprofit organizations, or government agencies. We are the only asthma patient organization that is 100% dedicated to asthma and pulmonary patients because we are the only asthma patient organization that is 100% patient-financed.
Therefore, we are the only asthma patient organization willing and able to TELL THE TRUTH about *'environment-friendly' HFA MDIs, which is that THEY ARE NOT AS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE AS CFC MDIs.
Since this is Obama's admin, could this part of a larger war on OTC health products?
Okay this could kill me plain and simple. Do I go back to the strong Adrenal pills now? And why is it my insurance its finding it so hard to clear my meds these days? Twice in four months I’m stuck with nothing but no answers while my body needs medications.
Sorry, but those over the counter inhalers are dangerous to many who use them. They could never get FDA approval now, because of the heart rate increases, and the “rebound” effect, among other things. I’ve treated people in the ER who nearly died using those, and who were quickly improved by the prescription inhalers.
But we will never see the headlines:
[ Obama Administration Bans Inhalers, Asthmatic Women and Minorities hit hardest.....]
obamacare at its finest.
Surely someone can do something to stop the stupidity coming of the White House, especially this. This just goes to show how low the WH occupier has stooped in his insane race towards absolutely lunacy.
This isnt new, the prescription versions all got rid of CFCs which is why they are still going to be allowed. Of course, they now don’t really work well but while kids everywhere gasp for air, they can be comforted to know that tiny puff of CFCs is no longer a threat to the ozone!
I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to be posting satire from The Onion.
Perhaps I have this wrong, but it seems to me only CFC propellants are being banned, other propellants can still be used. If this is so, and these propellants do not cause a raise in prices this is not a big deal,. However if all propellants are being banned or NONCFC propellants are greatly more expensive then this is about as big a messup as this clown has made to date.
Perhaps someone can clarify which it is.
havent been able to get plain generic albuteral inhalers for about a year here.
This was a regulation that was a boon to the drug companies. Drug companies make a lot of money on regulations like these and by buying up production lines of older meds and making them unavailable.
Liquid thorazine comes to mind, it disappeared when the drug companies were rolling out the expensive atypicals. So did liquid ativan. The studies were said that liquid ativan was just as quick as the pills. But the issue really is, that sometimes people who are not thinking clearly won’t take pills but will take liquid medication.
Instead the expensive meds came out with even more expensive melt-in-your-mouth forms.
And now studies are showing that for many applications, the old cheapies are as effective as the new expensives.
Scumbag.
It’s as if the Liberal Messiah is trying to lose every State in 2012.
This just demonstrates how utterly incompetent the EPA and the eco-freaks are. I doubt seriously that all the inhalers ever sold would even make a miniscule impact on the environment. Listening to Lisa Jackson’s testimony to congress, when asked to define green jobs proved her to be a fool, which many suspected before, but was emphatically proved by her testimony.
They’ll just have to go to the hospital to use a Breathalyzer.
They’ll just have to go to the hospital to use a Breathalyzer.
I should be horrified, but the environazis have never tried to hide their contempt for human life, so it’s no surprise.
They got rid of another type of inhaler about a year or two ago, and from what I have heard, the new kind is worse. Now they want an even worse kind?
Obama is literally trying to penalize people for wanting to breathe.
